SLATE_IGNORE_FILES does not work

[raymondmatthew]

Problem

SLATE_IGNORE_FILES does not ignore my files

Replication steps

add this to your .env
SLATE_IGNORE_FILES=/config/settings_data.json:/assets/static/icons.svg

More Information

I want to ignore my icons.svg as whenever I deploy my work the icons.svg wont work properly so I have to upload it to the store directly whenever I deploy

am I writing the proper syntax?

Same issue, it's only ignoring the first file listed.

@arthurgouveia for your second file are you also trying to ignore a file in the assets folder?

This did work for me successfully:
SLATE_IGNORE_FILES=/config/settings_data.json:/layout/theme.liquid

[raymondmatthew]

@jonathanmoore have you tried on assets?

This may be a regression caused by #647. Will investigate!

@zapsilere finally getting to this. On closer inspection, it looks like the path you provide in your SLATE_IGNORE_FILES is found in the src/ directory, not the dist/.

On build, src/assets/static/icons.svg gets copied to dist/assets/icons.svg, so you would need /assets/icons.svg in your SLATE_IGNORE_FILES for it to be ignore.

This definitely was not documented well so totally not your fault for not getting this right. In fact the assets folder is up for a refactor because it's pretty damn confusing right now

Can you confirm /assets/icons.svg works? I will open a PR to clarify docs for now, and there will be PRs in the future to simplify the /assets directory in general.
