How to exclude all module inside directory

[rrifafauzikomara]

For example, I have two modules namely home and auth inside the directory features

The path for that modules is like this:

features/home
features/auth

If I want to include all the modules inside features, I add them like this:

packages:
  - features/**
  - '*'

But how if I want to exclude all the modules inside features? So all the modules inside features will not affected by melos

We recently improved how packages are found (#330), so make sure you are on the latest version of Melos.

You can ignore specific paths or all paths matched by glob expression with the ignore option. Matched paths are subtracted from the paths included by the packages option.

packages:
  # Include the package at the workspace root.
  - .
  # Include only the package in directory a.
  - a
  # Include all the packages in direct child directories of directory b.
  - b/*
  # Include all the packages in child directories of directory c, at any level.
  - c/**
ignore:
  # Ignore the package in b/d but not any other package in b.
  - b/d
  # Ignore all packages in a directoy named example at any level in directory c.
  - c/**/example

This configuration includes all packages in the repo, except those in features:

packages:
  - '**'
ignore:
  - features/**

but pubspec.yaml from root not updated / not executed by melos when run melos bootstrap

But for now I have workarround for this, so I create new script like below:

  bootstrap_all:
    run: |
      melos bootstrap &&
      flutter pub get
    description: Bootstrap all package including root project

But it will be good if melos can ignore our module in bricks

Thanks for running melos list again.

lib/** won't work because lib is not a package root.

This is really nothing that can be fixed in Melos. I'd suggest rearranging your workspace so that *_flutter_app is not at the workspace root and instead in its own directory below it, e.g. app.

[rrifafauzikomara]

Okay, I will try first but I think you miss something? Maybe a screenshot? -> "below it, e.g. app."

[blaugold]

I just meant to say that you could put the app into a directory called app, in the workspace root: <workspace>/app.
melos.yaml would look like this:

packages:
  - features/**
  - libraries/**
  - app

I hope that clears it up :)
