cannot exclude files/folders in subdirectories in _site.yml
As mentioned in #946
To reproduce:
Put a file in a project subfolder, try to ignore it via exclude: ['subfolder/bla.txt'].
When the site is knit, the file "bla.txt" is copied anyway.
It doesn't matter whether the thing in the subdirectory is a file or a folder. I also naively expected "subfolder/*" to work, but it didn't.
Is there any update on this? exclude: ["folder1/", "folder2/"] seems to be rather basic, and should just work.
@friendly No, we haven't got a chance to look at this issue. If you use blogdown, you will be able to exclude any files/dirs.
@friendly IIRC excluding entire subfolders works (but might have to omit the slash), this issue was about single files in subfolders.
Ah, omitting the slash works for folders notes/ and other-slides/ in the line below.
exclude: ["notes", "other-slides", "*.pptx", "*.bak", "*.doc"]
Specific extensions, like *.pptx or *.bak are not excluded in subfolders
The OLD slash problem in rmarkdown when it comes to folders … What about handling all dirs with "/" as Long as possible and only directly before using it (in Windows enviroment and when it is needed (!!!)) converting it? ;-)
Just came across this issue. It also arises when using the distill package, as far as I can tell.
