Add .gitignore
to stdlib-fpm
deployment for generated test files
#766
Labels
idea
Proposition of an idea and opening an issue to discuss it
Motivation
A number of
.txt
,.bin
,.dat
and.stream
files are created when running tests withfpm test
on thestdlib-fpm
branch. However, a.gitignore
file is missing so the files end up cluttering thegit diff
and need to be manually deleted every time. While most of the development work will be done from themaster
branch, I think it is useful to be able to switch to thestdlib-fpm
branch to try things out.Prior Art
There is a
.gitignore
file on themaster
(branch name also needs change?) branch so some entries can be copied over during deployment.Additional Information
I believe it would be more advantageous to avoid placing any files generated by tests directly in the project's root directory. Instead, they could be stored, for instance, in a
build/test
ortmp/test
folder (open for suggestions). However, I acknowledge that for the time being, adding a.gitignore
file is the simplest solution.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
