Anchor excludes to start of string. Fixes #44. #46
Conversation
Before this change, excluding a directory (`bin`) would also exclude posts that include that name (`scrubbing`), which is very unexpected. While this may start listening to files that were previously ignored, it more closely matches the behaviour of jekyll on it's initial build (which _would_ include `scrubbing`). The consequences of being overly aggressive on listening to changes seem less important than missing something. This change is a bandaid. A proper fix would be to unify with Jekyll's exclusion logic (Jekyll::EntryFilter maybe?) to ensure they will always be the same. In the meantime, it _may_ be advisable to not include Jekyll's `exclude` config in the watchers ignore list and take the hit of overly aggressive reloads. I leave that decision to someone more experienced than I.

Can you please add a test case where you assert that a file is left alone that you intend to leave alone? |

yeah I'll have a go, might not be until the weekend though |

Please take a look now. There wasn't any prior art for this so I had to make something up. I changed the existing adjacent spec to be consistent with new method, though didn't change the entire file. (In general it does a lot of "check the config is set to what I wanted" rather than "does this config achieve the behaviour I want"). |

Yeesh, we really let this sit here a while. Sorry about that! My initial hesitation (which is maybe why I didn't respond) is how this affects files in a subdirectory. If I want to ignore If you're still interested in this PR, I'd gladly accept it if you can clarify my question above ☝️ . Thanks for your patience! |
