Description

org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.RegexFileFilter#accept(java.nio.file.Path, java.nio.file.attribute.BasicFileAttributes) is a new method added in 2.9.0 and it's javadoc states: 

/**
 * Checks to see if the file name matches one of the regular expressions.
 *
 * @param path the path
 * @param attributes the path attributes
 * @return true if the file name matches one of the regular expressions
 */

However in it's implementation: 

return toFileVisitResult(pattern.matcher(path.toString()).matches(), path);

it matches on path.toString() which will be the full path instead of the filename.

 

This is also inconsistent with the other method  org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.RegexFileFilter#accept(java.io.File, java.lang.String) which does match only on filename.
