I cannot make deno exclude dist/ directory
đź‘‹ I'm trying to make deno exclude the
dist/ directory from formatting but couldn't. I tried the exclude and fmt.exclude fields in deno.json and tried different values—dist, dist/, dist/*—but nothing worked. Every single time I run deno fmt (in the same directory where my deno.json is), I see that the files in dist/ directory are also formatted.
It's not a dealbreaker but being unable to get something so small and simple is quite annoying. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!2 Replies
Well this works for me, check is your path correct relative to current working directory
Ah I figured it out: I had a symbolic link to a file in my
dist/ directory, which I presume deno followed... Thank you @harshrastogiexe !
