No warning is given if commitlint.config.js does not exist

[nidkil]

Expected Behavior

If the commitlint.config.js file does not exist then commitlint does not have rules to check against and does nothing. It should display a warning message, e.g. "Warning: configuration not found, exiting".

Current Behavior

When the commitlint.config.js file does not exist then commitlint does nothing, but also does not warn the user.

Affected packages

• cli
• core
• prompt
• config-angular

Possible Solution

Check if the configuration with ruleset is available, if not then display a warning message, e.g. "Warning: configuration not found, exiting".

Context

Should already be covered by #107 (#491).
AFAIK it's merged but not yet released.

Cool. Didn't see it. Any idea when it will be merged?

[escapedcat]

It's merged but not yet released. Not sure when the new release will come.

Great. I will be on the lookout for it :-)

We are in the process of distributing maintenance of commitlint between @escapedcat, @byCedric and me. I am a bit swamped with work recently so this drags out a bit. I am confident we'll do a feature release in the first two weeks of 2019 though 🤖
