cache clear: forum contains hidden file

The official download contains a file .gitignore which is not deleted by clearCache.
Resulting in the error 'directory cache/forum not empty'.

Thanks for your bug report.

If you look at the code, the only .gitignore file we have is in the root and we don't include that in the release package. I double checked and it is not there.

I am not sure how one got in your /data/cache/ directory.

You downloaded the file named geeklog-2.2.0.tar.gz correct off of Github or the one from here Geeklog.net?

I downloaded the forum plugin and uploaded that to Geeklog using the upload function.
This is because the tarball does not contain the forum. But alas, you know that.

So I did the process again. It f**cks the cache direcory. See screenshot.

Then I pushed the link to clear the cache. Resulting in

E_WARNING(2) - rmdir(....snipped..../data//forum): Directory not empty @ ....snipped.../myCobol/lib-common.php line 6492

See screenshot 2.

I am not sure how one got in your /data/cache/ directory.

But I am. I double checked by now and it is definitely there.

I feel so sorry that I mixed up the cache with the data directory. Above comments clearly refer to the data directory, which contains the directories cache and forum. The latter after uploading the plugin.
I am sure this mixup (on my side) is caused by clearCache, which apparently does much more than clearing the cache.
And still, the forum-plugin-download contains a hidden directory that troubles.

FYI: the plugin forum forum-2.9.2-2.1.2.zip does NOT contain that hidden file .gitignore.
But forum-2.9.3-2.1.3.zip does.

Okay I see the issue. I have updated the forum zip file and removed the .gitignore file. I will have to update the clear cache function to handle hidden files.
