--config treats absolute path wrongly

[kirillgroshkov]

Bug only happens after recent update (from @commitlint/cli@7.5.2 to @commitlint/cli@7.6.0).

Before update: absolute paths to --config was treated properly (as absolute paths).

After update: absolute path in --config is treated as relative, so process.cwd() gets prepended to it and path becomes invalid, with error like this:

commitlint --config /Users/kirill/Idea/js-lib/node_modules/@naturalcycles/dev-lib/cfg/commitlint.config.js

/Users/kirill/Idea/js-lib/node_modules/@commitlint/cli/lib/cli.js:114
	throw err;
	^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/kirill/Idea/js-lib/Users/kirill/Idea/js-lib/node_modules/@naturalcycles/dev-lib/cfg/commitlint.config.js'

I was running it from cwd of /Users/kirill/Idea/js-lib (as seen in the log above).

Affected packages

• cli
• core
• prompt
• config-angular

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. commitlint --config /Users/user/commitlist.config.js
2. See that it resolved wrongly, like:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/kirill/Idea/js-lib/Users/kirill/Idea/js-lib/node_modules/@naturalcycles/dev-lib/cfg/commitlint.config.js'
