Pass function result as exclude list seems not working

[weilinzung]

Hi,

I have a function that creates a list to NOT delete, but del seems not working with the string that passes from the function.

Example:

function excludeList {
  ...
  fileNames
}

the output that already formatted as a string like this:
'!dist/images/1.png', '!dist/images/2.jpg', ...
––––

var excludeNames = ${fileNames};
console.log(excludeNames);
del(['dist/images/**', '!dist/images', ${excludeNames} ]);

So it will delete all the images also include the exclude ones.

Any ideas? thanks!

excludedNames should be an array, not a string.

await del(['dist/images/**', '!dist/images', ...excludedNames]);
