When loading local files and rule files are nested in a folder, the current behavior prepends the base path and not the nested path which results in a file not found error. This change updates this to use the dirpath parameter from os.walk so that it is handled correctly.

Given a structure of

  /tmp/rules/
  ├── file1.rules
  └── nested
      └── file2.rules

Today it would try to load this as the following

  • /tmp/rules/file1.rules
  • /tmp/rules/file2.rules

With the fix this would be

  • /tmp/rules/file1.rules
  • /tmp/rules/nested/file2.rules
