Ignore .gitignore'd files & other ignore patterns #42

Closed forivall closed 8 years ago

forivall commented 9 years ago

When I generate tags for a babel (es6 -> es5 transpile), the generated files are also indexed. However, those files are ignored by source control, and should be ignored by symbol-gen. Ideally, all files ignored by any VCS should be ignored when generating symbols. It would also be useful to allow custom global ignore patterns, and also add ignore patterns from a .atom-symbol-gen-ignore file.

Not sure I agree with automatically not generating symbols for gitignored things. If you have a library in your node_modules it is very useful to be able to jump to the definition of the methods created by the library.... custom ignore patterns would be very useful.

It would be nice if the package would allow me to ignore all files and folders that I defined as "Ignored Names" in Atom's settings.

Plus, it would be great if there was a syntax documentation for the .ctags file. For instance, I would like to know what delimiter the --exclude option is using to separate names (or if it has to be placed more than once if you want to exclude more names).

resolved in v1.3.0

This doesn't seem to work ; it's generating tags for several folders I have ignored. I get a 200MB tag file whereas a hand-crafted invocation of the ctags program using find for the set I want is only 63kB.

@awilkins I am finding the same issue, I created a new ticket: #60
