How to ignore a folder name on any folder level? #43

Closed Spenhouet closed 2 years ago

Spenhouet commented 2 years ago

With python I have a __pycache__ folder on most folder levels and I would like to ignore all of them.

I tried:

"formatFiles.excludedFolders": [
        ".vscode",
        ".git",
        ".mypy_cache",
        "__pycache__"
    ],

but this does not work. I tried adding wildcards, but no luck either. Also tried the same with the excludePattern option.

if you use excludePattern, you can specify glob patterns to skip specific folders at any depth

e.g. to exclude all .vscode and .git try "excludePattern": "**/.vscode/**/*,**/.git/**/*"

Thanks, this worked. I tried the wrong syntax for the wildcard (regex syntax).
