Jekyll removes generated images every time

[pruzicka]

Hi, I use jekyll generator (https://github.com/robwierzbowski/generator-jekyllrb ) and picture-tag as well. Grunt server and grunt build would always clean ".jekyll" and "dist " directory, ie. also images in "generated_images" dir. I've seen keep_files settings in _config.yml "keep_files: ['.git','.svn','.jpg']", also this in generator

Assign defaults

  settings['source'] ||= '.'
  settings['output'] ||= 'generated_images'
  settings['markup'] ||= 'picturefill'

  # Prevent Jekyll from erasing our generated files
  site.config['keep_files'] << settings['output'] unless site.config['keep_files'].include?(settings['output'])

I've added this line to clean: section task in grunt.js '!<%= yeoman.dist %>/generated_images*'.

Nothing works. Is there any way how to not generate images in .jekyll & dist dir every time ? Thanks a lot

Can you paste the relevant parts of the Gruntfile?

So I've tried different syntax and I've managed to add generated_images to clean section, so they do not disappear from 'dist', i.e. grunt build. So far so good. Now question is - what about grunt serve ? Could re-use the same images for serve task ? ".jekyll" directory is always wiped clean. Thanks

   clean: {
      dist: {
        files: [{
          dot: true,
          src: [
          '<%= yeoman.dist %>/*',
            // Running Jekyll also cleans the target directory.  Exclude any
            // non-standard `keep_files` here (e.g., the generated files
            // directory from Jekyll Picture Tag).
          '!<%= yeoman.dist %>/generated_images',
          '!<%= yeoman.dist %>/.git*'
]
}]
},

Can you try:

      server: [
        '.tmp',
        '.jekyll',
        '!.jekyll/generated_images'
      ]

No result unfortunately :(

[pruzicka]

so as workaround I did server: [ '.tmp', //'.jekyll', '.jekyll/blog', '.jekyll/assets' .... ]

which is super bad pattern, but for now it speeds up my workflow by 100% :)

Nice. I will get to testing this but I don't want to spend finite time on it now when the rewrites I have in the works may alleviate the problem. Thanks for keeping up with the issue and posting back your findings.

Yup, I understand. I'm just surprised that I'm the only one with this problem :)

[pruzicka]

Well, so here is the solution... Problem was matching patterns. Done, case closed :)

server: [ '.tmp', '.jekyll/*', '!.jekyll/generated_images/**' ],

[robwierzbowski]

YAYYYYYYYY

High fives.
