[jasonswearingen]

Is this a feature or a bug?

• [X ] Bug

Please describe the actual behavior. given a clean.json like the following:

{
"pathsToDelete": [
    "dist",
    "lib",
    "lib-esm"
  ]
}

put in common/config/heft does not appear to be used when invoking pnpm build (a package.json script which runs heft test --clean)

I need to move the file to the current project's .heft folder for it to be used.

If the issue is a bug, how can we reproduce it? Please provide detailed steps and include a GitHub branch if applicable. Your issue will get resolved faster if you can make it easy to investigate.

move <projectFolder>/.heft/clean.json to common/config/heft/clean.json

The common/config/heft files were recently removed in favor of an "extends" field in each config file, and we're planning on adding a concept of "configuration rigs" where a project will extend all config files from a "rig" project.

Looks like we need to update the docs. @octogonz, you were going to put together some example config files as part of the larger refactor. Have you had a chance to make any progress on that?
