Specify dedicated location for input files
Closed this issue · 6 comments
All files located in folders defined as :resources will be candidates for the perun tasks. Is there a way to specify a dedicated location/fileset that will be available to perun tasks only?
@jeluard there's no way to do this currently. Could you give a bit more context about your situation/why you're looking for something like this?
I am interested in using perun to generate technical documentation for some projects. There might be a bunch of unrelated files in resources that should be ignored by perun tasks. Similarly other tasks relying on resources might be poluted by those doc files.
@jeluard usually render, collection and many other tasks have a filterer option that can be any function receiving the perun metadata of a file. You can use this metadata to only operate on files in a certain directory for example.
Are you planning to emit the generated documentation into resources? Personally I usually try to avoid mixing input/output files inside a projects top level directory. This way you ensure the inputs to your program will always be "clean".
Does this solve your problem? If not also consider the #perun channel in Slack for lower latency :)
Right filterer is probably good enough for this use case. My second point was related to other tasks seeing docs files even so they are irrelevant. Not sure it's a real problem so I'll just ignore that for now.
Sorry I will use slack next time ;)
@jeluard here is totally fine too, no worries 👍
Depending on when "the other tasks" occur in the pipeline sift might just be enough to remove the docs related files from the fileset? Depends a lot on how/when you run things I guess.
Yes sounds like filterer/sift is a great combo here! Thanks
