forceignore process is broken in Winter 2021

forceignore is broken with Winter 2021.  I can neither deploy to nor retrieve from the org I am connected to by right-clicking on the package.xml file in my VSCode project.  That used to work fine.

Here is my forceignore:

**/jsconfig.json
**/__tests__/**
**/.eslintrc.json

Here is the error I get when I try to deploy source to org:

Any thoughts?  Following the instructions in the error message does nothing.  I am on the latest of everything....

Thanks.

HI Dave,
This appears to be the same issue as https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/324025/why-is-sfdx-deploy-throwing-a-false-warning-error-regarding-forceignore-v2-and-d

While I investigate further, can you change to jsconfig.json .eslintrc.json and see if that fixes the error(There might be a warning tough)

I will update this thread as I have more information.Thanks

It appears to be a bug that many users reported. While the salesforce product development team is working on the fix, the workaround would be to downgrade to salesforcedx@49.13.1
