[CY-6700] Being able to read config from .codacy.yaml

[mhkarimi1383]

Hi
I'm using this cli inside GitHub actions
but I found out that this content in .codacy.yaml file is not working for me (That's not removing my problems related to md files)

exclude_paths:
  - "**.md"

I want to exclude any non go files how to do for that thing?

Also here is my GitHub actions file

When I run Spotbug with .codacy.yml configuration file in the repository root
01/14 00:54:31 INFO c.c.a.c.a.AnalyseExecutor:206 - Found local extra configuration for spotbugs 01/14 00:54:31 INFO c.c.a.c.a.AnalyseExecutor:188 - Preparing to run spotbugs with remote configuration
Then 0 result is found.

Why was not the local configuration used?

Command used to run Spotbugs tool (from Jenkins)
sudo codacy-analysis-cli analyze --api-token ****** --provider gh --username **** --project **** --tool spotbugs --allow-network --upload --verbose --skip-uncommitted-files-check --commit-uuid **** --directory pwd

Content of .codacy.yml

engines:
spotbugs:
enabled: true
base_sub_dir: /home/user/workspace/project
modules:
- classesDirectories: [ "module1/build/classes" ]
sourceDirectories: [ "module1/source" ]

When I run sudo codacy-analysis-cli validate-configuration, I got Could not find Codacy configuration file. Make sure you have a file named like one of .codacy.yaml, .codacy.yml. even when the .codacy.yml file is in the repository root folder. However, when I run sudo codacy-analysis-cli validate-configuration --directory pwd, it works
