--folders-to-skip Doesn't seem to work with path delimiters

[qwk000]

Hi. I have a subfolder that I want to exclude that has the same name as a subfolder in another tree which I do want to include. In this case, I can't just use the name in the --folders-to-skip option like this:

pygount --folders-to-skip=[...]com_arc

because both "com_arc" directories in the separate trees get excluded. When I do this:

pygount --folders-to-skip=[...]ip_project/com_arc

nothing gets excluded. I have tried a lot of different things with wildcards and using [regex]. Seems like a bug but I'm hoping there's some trick I'm missing.

Thanks, Wes

I also have the same problem, I can only exclude subdirectories of the directory I execute pygount from. The following command works just fine:

% pygount --folders-to-skip="[...],frontend,migrations,static" -f summary

However, this includes all subdirectories of my project, including frontend/node_modules:

% pygount --folders-to-skip="[...],frontend/node_modules,migrations,static"

Same problem

Example, I want to exclude this file by excluding /libs/ : a/b/c/libs/js/tom.js

pygount --folders-to-skip="[...],*/libs/*" -f summary Nothing happen

That's how the current implementation works, which is not a good thing. There also is a request to support the ** for recursive folders, see #59.

Probably this would need a major rework of some not very interesting code, so it's increasingly unlikely I will look into it.

At some point I will implement #20, which is what most people including myself need. While doing that, it would be feasible to rethink the ignore logic and go for some breaking changes.
