Can't exclude multiple directories

[pozitron57]

With args: '--exclude=dir1' works fine, dir1 is excluded. How to exclude multiple directories? I tried

args: '--exclude=dir1 --exclude=dir2'
args: '--exclude={dir1,dir2}'
exclude: [dir1, dir2]
exclude: ['dir1', 'dir2']

with no luck. Rsync doesn't exclude anything with these setups.

Well, finally I figured out that it can be done like this:

args: '--exclude-from=list-of-files-to-exclude'

where list-of-files-to-exclude is file where all directories and files to be excluded are listed:

dir1
dir2

Unfortunately I got the same problem at persent.

Thanks for the tip of --exclude-from.

I suspect some escaping happens when using multiple options, which is treated as a single option --exclude=dir1\ --exclude=dir2 (so the value of --exclude is dir1 --exclude=dir2).
