auto-append-gitignore not working

[tkdb]

I'm aware of #81 - it just does not make it. This is a simple failure report.

My composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "connect20/dsdata_nostate":"*"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "http://packages.firegento.com"
        }
    ],
    "extra": {
        "magento-root-dir": "magento/",
        "auto-append-gitignore": true
    }
}

The .gitingore file when operating in the same directory remains untouched. Files are linked in the FS.

This comment is all wrong, symlinks work fine both on linux and windows. I just didn't see them properly in my file manager.

I have to correct - even I saw errors in Windows regarding symlink() and fixed those errors (triggered in that symlink strategy file line 103) , it's just that ~~both on windows ~~and linux systems that connect20/dsdata_nostate module (Dsdata_NoState) is not installed by linking but by copying files.

Could it be that this won't work if there ain't a .gitignore in the magento-root-dir allready?

I have a gitignore at the projects root folder (which is where composer.json resides) while the magento-root-dir is "magento/" and there is no .gitignore file.

Just a quick update, for the first install I did with 2.x (I did use 1.3.x before), this seemed to work. .gitignore was updated yesterday. Ref: https://github.com/magento-hackathon/magento-composer-installer/issues/107#issuecomment-46412177

A new .gitignore file was created in the magento root directory in my case:

    "extra": {
        "magento-root-dir": "magento/",
        "auto-append-gitignore": true
    }
}
