[BUG] Reading Wrong Eslint Config File For Mono Repo.

[Huzaifa-Asif]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Does this issue exist in the latest version?

• I'm using the latest release

Describe the bug?

I get the following error message when my action is executed because action is reading service/lambda/bsp/.eslintrc.json file. It should read the eslint file present in the base directory. As i have 200 plus micro services so we can't create seperate eslint config for all of them. but some of the services have eslint config file and when change is made in those services that eslint file is read by action.

Action Config:

Action Error

  Running ESlint on changed files...
  
  Oops! Something went wrong! :(
  
  ESLint: 8.55.0

To Reproduce

Create a microservice and add eslint config file in that as well, but point the eslint file present in base directory. then you will see that eslint is reading service config file.

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

ubuntu-latest or ubuntu-22.04

Expected behavior?

It should read base directory eslint not the service level eslint config and should not crash.

If you are using one configuration file and want ESLint to ignore any .eslintrc.* files, make sure to use --no-eslintrc along with the --config flag.
