XF 2.0 Exclude files in build.json

[Siropu]

I want to exclude some files in one of my add-on directories when the zip is built. How can I do that?

You can use a build.json file and its "exec" array to execute commands. You could get that to run a script or run some delete commands, e.g.

{
    "exec": [
        "rm -rf _build/file/to/remove"
    ]
}

This will remove it from the contents of the _build directory which is the temporary directory which is zipped up for the release.

Thank you.
In order to work, it seems that you need full path: _build/upload/src/addons/YourAddon/path/to/file

Yes, that's correct - the _build directory has the same directory structure as the zip file.

Nice, it gave me idea of how to make another zip file with different structure.
