How to ignore directories

Crypto-Cat commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I see this issue was raised and closed before but I can't seem to get VSCodeCounter to ignore directories or files. In my user and workspace settings.json files I have placed the following:

  "files.exclude": {
    "**/.git": true, // this is a default value
    "**/.DS_Store": true, // this is a default value
    "**/data/PCAP/**": true,
    "**/data/PCAP/extract_files/**": true,
    "**/data/CSV/**": true,
    "**/data/failed_code_samples/**": true
  },

  "VSCodeCounter.useGitignore": true,
  "VSCodeCounter.useFilesExclude": true

When I run VSCodeCounter it shows all the CSV/JavaScript/HTML files even though all of these directories are listed in "files.exclude" and are stored in .gitignore (although I see on the last issue about this that the .gitignore functionality wasn't actually implemented)

Any ideas what's wrong? It could very well be settings syntax but I'm struggling to find any good examples online..

Thanks, CryptoCat

@Crypto-Cat It did not reproduce in my environment. Does deleting .VSCodeCounter/ solve the problem?

Hi,

Deleting the folder does not solve it

My project structure is:

Main -> data -> PCAP -> extract_files
             -> CSV
             -> failed_code_samples

Where my .VSCodeCounter/ folder is in Main. Are my config settings correct? I've played around with a few variations.

Thanks, CryptoCat

The .VSCodeCounter/ folder is created under the workspace folder.

Your settings don't seem to be wrong.

The folder specified in "files.exclude" should not be visible from Explorer. Is that so in your environment?

Is the VSCodeCounter version 1.2.0?

Ah I'm an idiot! One of the excluded folders was showing in the workspace due to a typo, fixed now :D

Thanks!!
