Filtering files with paths outside of gulp folder not possible? #85

We have a test for this that proves it should work: https://github.com/sindresorhus/gulp-filter/blob/b9fb0bc5771e14b8a0c44f2a9e8daee4552c7ffd/test.js#L164 But happy to take another look if you submit a failing test.

thanks a lot for the quick response. I'm going to have a look at your tests.

I am not sure if this is relevant: I am doing this in a multi-root workspace in VS Code and I am referencing folders in another root folder ("./../otherRoot/test") But for gulp-filter these are all probably just path strings(?)

seems you can do (1) gulp.src("A/B/**/*.*").pipe(filter("A/B/**/*.xx")

but you can't do (2) gup.src("../A/B/**/*.*").pipe(filter("../A/B/**/*.xx") it just returns 0 files. no error message

case (2) only works if ".." is replaced with "**" within the filter
