Question

My CouchApp has the following folder structur, where files inside the app folder are compiled into the _attachments folder:

my_couchapp
├── _attachments/
│   ├── app.js
│   ├── app-tests.js
│   └── index.html
├── app/
│   └── app.js
├── Assetfile
└── views/

I want to exclude the file Assetfile, _attachments/app-tests.js and the folder app.

My current .couchappignore looks like this:

[
  "app",
  "Assetfile",
  "_attachments/app-tests.js"
]

But this doesn’t seem to work. All files beginning with app inside the _attachments folder are not pushed.

How do I define folders and specific files to be excluded when the CouchApp is pushed via couchapp push?

Answer 1

After a little more experimentation I found a way: the app folder can be excluded by specifying app$, so the final .couchappignore now looks like this:

[
  "app$",
  "Assetfile",
  "app-tests.js"
]
