 def test_check_no_conventional_commit(commit_msg, config, mocker, tmpdir):

cz check does not detect incorrectly formatted commit message
## Description

Looks like cz does not detect properly incorrect commit messages, it only parses first line?

## Steps to reproduce
1. create file named BAD_MSG with the following content:
```text
ci: check commit message on merge
testing with more complex commit mes

age with error
```
as you can see there is no empty line between first and second line.

2. run `cz check --commit-msg-file BAD_MSG`

## Current behavior
```
Commit validation: successful!
```

## Desired behavior
```
commit validation: failed!
please enter a commit message in the commitizen format.
commit "": "CI_COMMIT_MESSAGE"
pattern: (build|ci|docs|feat|fix|perf|refactor|style|test|chore|revert|bump)(\(\S+\))?!?:(\s.*)
```

## Environment

cz version -r
