ignore when copying

[tcurdt]

I have some files _*.html that I do not want to get copied over.
Unfortunately it's not easy to exclude them when using globbing.

config.addPassthroughCopy("src/**/*.html");

I tried adding

**/_*.html

to .eleventyignore but that does not work either.

Is the latter a bug?

This seems to be related: #1134

@tcurdt Do you mind spinning up an example repo? I tried it on github (and you can run it online on gitpod), but couldn't reproduce your issue.

[tcurdt]

Interesting. Then I will prepare something. Odd. Thanks for trying!

[tcurdt]

Had to give gitpod a try https://gitpod.io/#snapshot/df8f16f3-8ace-4d0c-b151-64e603553012 :) but also exported a tgz.

Thanks. Now that I see the setup, I'm not really sure why you're using passthrough file copy. 11ty considers .html a valid template extension, so I can't think what adding it to the config will do.

[tcurdt]

@binyamin Maybe I am just misunderstanding the point of a passthrough copy? But my config looks like this

for (const ext of [
  'html',
  'css',
  'jpg',
  'png',
  'gif',
  'svg',
  'java',
  'sh',
]) {
  config.addPassthroughCopy("src/**/*." + ext);
}

return {
  dir: {
    input: 'src',
    output: 'site',
  },
  templateFormats: [
    'njk',
    'md',
  ],
  htmlTemplateEngine: 'njk',
  markdownTemplateEngine : "njk",
  passthroughFileCopy: true,
}

I guess this may be a problem for other extensions nevertheless.

[binyamin]

I still don't understand what you're accomplishing by config.addPassthroughCopy("src/**/*.html");.

Also, would it work to modify the glob "src/**/*.html" so that it negates any file starting with an underscore? (Something like src/**/!(_*).html)

[tcurdt]

@binyamin I don't see why I would not have to copy html files if my templates are only md and njk. Can you elaborate?

Negating the glob would of course work, too. I wasn't aware that's an option.
I'd only know how to do this with a regular expression.

I guess I can close this issue as duplicate of it #1134 which I do think is worth fixing.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, I guess you should use the special glob syntax until #1134 is fixed.

Closing in favor of #1134
