.derived file does not support wildcards on folders #22

Open thomasschuerger opened 3 years ago

thomasschuerger commented 3 years ago

Wildcards seem only to be supported in the file part of a pattern, not in the folder part. It does not seem to be possible to use e.g.

*/log/*.txt

Can the matching be changed to be as flexible as .gitignore? This would include the usage of "*" in the path part of a pattern, as well as "**" for any number of path levels.

Sorry, I was mistaken.

The issue occurs when dealing with nested projects.

In the case where we have a parent project and child projects, like this:

parentproject

Here, a .derived file for childproject1 and childproject2 works fine with wildcards. However, on the parent project, wildcards in the .derived file do not work at all if they reference files of the child projects, neither in the folder part nor the filename part of a pattern. Patterns without wildcards work fine.

Hi Thomas!

Unfortunately I no longer support that project. I'm not using this platform anymore... I guess the best bet now is to fork and improve the project.

Sorry, this is probably not the answer you're looking for...

Hi @nodj ,

May I kindly ask you to mention this in the project's README and on its GitHub-Pages Homepage? I found AutoDeriv just now. Knowing that it's essentially a "dead project" would've saved some time.

Best regards
