Excluding files from sources does not seem to work.

[shifqu]

Hello

First of all, thanks a lot for this useful task.

We have been successfully using this task, but not we'd like to exclude certain files.

I have tried multiple patterns, but none seem to work:

**/*.yml
!**/02-build-config.yml

**/*.yml
!02-build-config.yml

**/*.yml; !**/02-build-config.yml

**/*.yml; !02-build-config.yml

I even tried starting with @, but this is for variables so did not expect it work. And as expected it didn't.

Could you advise on how we would be able to exclude certain files from the task? Or highlight what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance and happy holidays!

FYI: As a workaround, I have created two directories. And now in my Azure Pipeline I launch the task on the correct folder.
Would be nice to have the files in the same subdirectory though.

Hi @shifqu,
The pattern which will work is the following:

**/*.yml;!**/02-build-config.yml

I forgot to trim values when splitting on the ; so the space you have after the semi-colon is part of the negative pattern. I'll fix this in the next release.
