8.4.0 - Issue with jscpd

[VictorRos]

Describe the bug

Hello!
In my team we have a bug with jscpd when migrating from MegaLinter 8.3.0 to 8.4.1.

We enabled debug logs with LOG_LEVEL: DEBUG.

We run the pipeline with the following versions:

• MegaLinter 8.3.0 : ✅
• MegaLinter 8.4.0 : ❌
• MegaLinter 8.4.1 : ❌

We found an old bug #2450.

But it does not seem to be related as jscpd is in version 4.0.5 and the command run is the same for both MegaLinter 8.3.0 and 8.4.0.

We do not add command options for jscpd.

Here is our configuration file:

{
	"threshold": 10,
	"reporters": ["html", "markdown"],
	"absolute": true,
	"gitignore": true,
	"ignore": [
		"**/node_modules/**",
		"**/.git/**",
		"**/.rbenv/**",
		"**/.venv'/**",
		"**/report*/**",
		"**/*cache*/**",
		"**/*.json",
		"**/*.yaml",
		"**/*.yml",
		"**/*.md",
		"**/*.html",
		"**/*.xml",
		"scripts/pwsh/**",
		"scripts/sh/**"
	]
}

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Migrate MegaLinter to 8.4.0 or 8.4.1
2. Run pipeline with LOG_LEVEL: DEBUG
3. Scroll down to -COPYPASTE_JSCPD.log
4. See error

Expected behavior

No error with jscpd if threshold is not reached.

It looks like the expected behavior but but for unknown reason it was working 😂

Screenshots

Instead of screenshots, I'm providing jscpd output from MegaLinter

MegaLinter 8.3.0

Additional context

I run locally jscpd in version 4.0.5 and I have the exact same behavior as MegaLinter.

npx -y [email protected] --gitignore --reporters console,html --exitCode 1 --config .jscpd.json .
echo $?
# 1
