Ignore pattern doesn't work outside working directory about del

[schnittstabil]

@Palpie Thanks for reporting, that is a globbing issue (isaacs/node-glob#248).

Using cwd may be a possible workaround:

del(['test/assets/**', '!test/assets', '!test/assets/goat.png'], {
    cwd: '/build',
    dryRun: true
}) // …

[Palpie]

It works fine with cwd and it actually made my real code look nicer!

Thanks!

I am experiencing the same problem, but CWD does not work in my case/ I have the following code:

// delete task
gulp.task( 'delete', function() {
  return del([
      '../../../project/app/myfolder/**',
      '!../../../project/app/myfolder',
      '!../../../project/app/myfolder/json/**',
    ],
    {
      force: true,
    });
});

And also tried:

// delete task
gulp.task( 'delete', function() {
  return del([
      '/myfolder/**',
      '!/myfolder',
      '!/myfolder/json/**',
    ],
    {
      cwd: '../../../project/app',
      force: true,
    });
});

How can I make it wrong, is there a mistake in the code?
