Wrong string detection with version 1.15.0 and 1.16.0

[sbrunner]

With a js file like that

a = 'Missing files';

I get the error:

test.js:1: files'  ==> file's

I think that's expected, this system doesn't currently inspect the code, so doesn't realise you're quoting a string and hence assumes you've got an errant apostrophe.

[sbrunner]

Then why it was working in version 1.14.0?
Is it possible to ignore this kind of errors?

Because that correction was only added in the change between the two:
v1.14.0...v1.16.0#diff-3bddc99f1f6dffc98ea11be5a5a31ae9R8677

Is it possible to ignore this kind of errors?

Yes, you can whitelist either specific lines or corrections, see the man pages/help for Codespell.

OK, thanks :-)

Sounds like this is resolved enough, closing

It's not fixed I just found a workaround...

I think a proper fix for this would need a full code parser for example you can't just check if there is a preceding single quote due to scenarios like this where it should flag the issue:

a = 'Foo's files' live here';
