6.17.0: exclude_paths not working for files with special characters in names

[osfrickler]

Summary

With 6.17.0 an excluded path like ./{{a}} is no longer excluded.

Issue Type

• Bug Report

OS / ENVIRONMENT

$ ansible-lint --version
ansible-lint 6.17.0 using ansible-core:2.14.3 ruamel-yaml:0.17.26 ruamel-yaml-clib:0.2.7

• ansible installation method: pip
• ansible-lint installation method: pip

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Have a broken yaml file named {{a}}/a.yml.

Have an .ansible_lint file with:

---
exclude_paths:
  - ./{{a}}

Desired Behavior

With ansible-lint<=6.16.1:

$ ansible-lint -c .ansible_lint 

Passed with production profile: 0 failure(s), 0 warning(s) on 0 files.
A new release of ansible-lint is available: 6.16.1 → 6.17.0 Upgrade by running: pip install --upgrade ansible-lint
CRITICAL Linter finished without analyzing any file, check configuration and arguments given.

(ansible-lint 6.16.2 didn't respect excluded_paths at all)

Actual Behavior

$ ansible-lint -c .ansible_lint 
WARNING  Listing 1 violation(s) that are fatal
load-failure[runtimeerror]: Failed to load YAML file
{{a}}/a.yml:1 mapping values are not allowed in this context
  in "<unicode string>", line 2, column 2

I think that you should not be able to reproduce the bug with 6.17.1 and as I nodded, I think this might not be related to use of braces.
