Ignored dot files
ogizanagi opened this issue · 3 comments
Currently, dot files are ignored, due to the symfony/finder default behavior which is to ignore both vcs and dotfiles.
What about a configuration option in order to not ignore those files ? (ignore-dot-files, default true for BC reasons)
The only way for now is to add those files manually using the files configuration option.
I would classify this use case as advanced file inclusion, which is where using the finder configuration setting would be required. This setting can be used to alter Finder's default behavior, in addition to many other Finder-specific things. The finder setting is basically mapped to method calls on instances of the Finder class.
I'm leaning strongly towards not implementing something like ignore-dot-files because I would basically be re-implementing a dumbed down version of the Finder component. The directories setting is for a far simpler use case.
Does my view make sense, or am I being too much of a hardliner here?
EDIT: By the way, I'm really sorry for not seeing this response sooner. I never received a notification from GitHub about this issue being opened!
No problem. I think it makes sense actually. I've probably overlooked at the finder configuration at the time.
I guess this issue can be closed :)
No biggy!
