Option to exclude directories

[anishcorratech]

Hi,

I am looking for an option to exclude the some of the directories from fileconveyor.

I am trying to sync:

/var/www/html

This is syncing perfectly fine. But I would like exclude directories inside it like:

/var/www/html/media /var/www/html/skin /var/www/html/js

can you please provide me a sample config for the same.

Thanks Anish

In your <filter>, add <ignoredDirs>media:skin:js</ignoredDirs>. That should be it :)

I have added the ignore dirs now:

<config>
  <sources ignoredDirs="media:skin:js">
    <source name="html" scanPath="/var/www/html" />
  </sources>

This is working only partially. The file are only being ignore from the root of these directories:

/var/www/html/media /var/www/html/skin /var/www/html/js

but if file-conveyor detects a change in a sub-directory or sub-sub-directories it is pushing it to Server (transporter="cloudfiles")

for ex senario:

If file-conveyor detects a change inside /var/www/html/media/catalog/images or /var/www/html/skin/frontend/templates/css/ this is pushed to cloud

Is it possible to ignore in a recursive manner?

Thanks

D'oh :(

If you look at https://github.com/wimleers/fileconveyor/blob/master/fileconveyor/fsmonitor.py, you'll see that is_in_ignored_dir looks at every directory in the file's path. So… it should be working recursively.

I think you may be seeing changes that were already queued. It's probably best if you start fresh, by deleting File Conveyor's DBs.
