If this issue only occurs in one browser, which browser is a problem?

No response

Describe the Bug

Emacs editor generates FILENAME~ and #FILENAME# files.

It generates messages like

[WARN] Unsupported file type .../[...page].astro~ found. Prefix filename with an underscore (`_`) to ignore.

I tried

export default defineConfig({
  vite: {
    server: {
      watch: {
        ignored: ['**~', '**#']
      }
    }
  }
});

But it doesn't work. Not sure the regexp is right, I tried several possibilities...

What's the expected result?

Astro should ignore thoses files.

I also got issues with a __TRASH__ directory... It is a horrible design to scan everything in the root directory. It is impossible to have unused files since npm build will throw zillion of errors !

I guess Astro's pages detection could try and detect those special file names, and ignore them as pages. But do you know why emacs is generating them? It seems like an odd thing to do.

[Princesseuh]

They're backup files, Emacs store the last 9 versions of the file in ~ files and the #file# one is a temp version of the file currently operated on, when you save it overwrites the normal file with the content of this temp one (presumably in an effort to ensure atomic saves?)

Vim has a similar system, but no modern editors do, as far as I know at least.

@Princesseuh you could try (setq create-lockfiles nil) maybe?
