Describe the bug
At p5.js we just switched to having our contributors list in a separate file because it was getting quite large. We noticed after doing this that the all-contributors bot stopped being able to add contributors. The problem could be reproduced with the all-contributors CLI locally too. It worked correctly again after adding a title to the markdown file.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
-
Create CONTRIBUTORS.md that looks like this, with nothing at the top of the file before the comment:
<!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-LIST:START - Do not remove or modify this section -->
<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
<!-- markdownlint-disable -->
<!-- markdownlint-restore -->
<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
<!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-LIST:END -->
-
In .all-contributorsrc, point to that file:
"files": [
"CONTRIBUTORS.md"
],
-
Run all-contributors add someusername code to try to add a contributor
-
I get this error:
RangeError: Invalid count value: -1

Expected behavior
It should be able to add an entry to the table.
Additional context
Adding anything beforehand, e.g. a title to the markdown file, makes it work.
I think there's just an assumption that there is content before, so it tries to index a string at index -1. Maybe wrapping in Math.max(idx, 0) would be sufficient.
