knip: Knip does not ignore gitignored directory when it has bad permissions

Hi,

I’m using the latest knip 2.17.0 on a Linux machine.

This is my knip config:

{
  "entry": ["src/app.js", "scripts/**/*.js"],
  "project": ["**/*.js"]
}

I have a directory called mongodata in the project root, which contains MongoDB data from a DB that’s running in a docker container. Since it’s running in the docker container it has different file permission than the rest of the project files. The mongodata folder is listed in my .gitignore.

Nevertheless when I run knip I get this:

I even tried adding ignore: ["mongodata/"] to the knip.json, but I still got the error.
