Mismatch in installed dictionaries?

[adam-moss]

Hi

I've been using the vs-code extension for some time now and have today been looking at integrating the cspell-cli into our pre-commit hooks in replacement of codespell.

One thing I've noticed is that with a clean install of both there are differences in the bundled dicts.

E.g. when scanning the .pre-commit-config.yaml file itself the vscode plugin reports 1 additional error, the word linebreak from the following:

      - id: trailing-whitespace
        stages:
          - pre-commit
        args:
          - --markdown-linebreak-ext=md

Running cspell trace linebreak shows this is defined in dict-software-terms.

Looking at the package.json of dict-software-terms shows:

vscode

"name": "@cspell/dict-software-terms", "version": "3.2.3",

pre-commit

"name": "@cspell/dict-software-terms", "version": "3.3.23",

Is there any way to ensure these are updated / aligned?

Thanks!

@adam-moss,

Please try out v4. (There is a workaround in v3)

With v4, the extension will try to load all dictionaries from node_modules before falling back to the bundled dictionaries.

In v3 you have to tell it to load the dictionaries:

cspell.config.yaml

import:
  - '@cspell/cspell-bundled-dicts'

See: #2864 (comment)

Bingo! I hadn't realised there was a pre-release version of the plugin availble.

Thank you for the quick response :)
