Cannot ignore directories

[wylieconlon]

Reading through the load-paths-handler source, it looks like the ignoredNames config only matches the file name without extension (the base name). This obviously doesn't work when you want to specify an ignore on a directory level, such as for build products or dependencies.

I would prefer to specify ignores with a syntax like .gitignore, from the root of the current project. For example:

'fuzzyFinder':
  'ignoredNames': [
    'public/*'
    'bower_components/*'
    'node_modules/*'
  ]

This will be fixed in the Atom release to parse/match the ignored names using minimatch.

So you'll probably want something like:

'fuzzyFinder':
  'ignoredNames': [
    '**/public/*'
    '**/bower_components/*'
    '**/node_modules/*'
  ]

If you want these three folders ignored anywhere they appear in the project.

@kevinsawicki, anyway to only ignore the folder at a specific path (not every folder with that name). I tried ./public/*, public/*, and /public/*.

Any ideas on this one?

That link is gone; how do ignore a directory (that's not gitignored) ?

The link no longer works. How do I ignore a directory?

Anyone?

Go to Atom -> Config, It'll open config.cson, then add/edit "fuzzy-finder" section like in the example below:

"*":
...
  "fuzzy-finder":
    ignoredNames: [
      "tmp"
      ".dir-locals.el"
    ]
...
