Preventing actions for specific commands

[gvwilson]

I have a event handler registered for ivy.events.Event.EXIT that copies figure files from src/*/whatever to docs/*/whatever. I want it to run for ivy build and ivy watch, but not for ivy clear. What's the right way to ensure this?

Probably best to register it on the EXIT_BUILD event:

👍 I'll give it a try.

Good stuff. The build command fires its own set of build events: INIT_BUILD, MAIN_BUILD, and EXIT_BUILD. They're the ones you want to use for anything purely related to building the site.

The watch command ultimately calls the build command so it fires the same set of hooks for each build.

thanks. BTW, I'm with http://deepgenomics.com these days, and we're hiring Python programmers... :-)

works - thank you

Ooooh, that's a really interesting area to work in, pet interest of mine. I've just accepted an offer from a self-driving car company in Berlin, otherwise I'd be all over that. I'll keep an eye on you guys for future opportunities :)
