Some sort of ignore file for ./ml local deploy modules

[stephen-gehring-ml]

I ran into some utf-8 errors when I try to deploy GRUNT NPM modules into MarkLogic using ./ml local deploy modules... I am wondering if there is a way to set up some sort of config file that will allow the ./ml local deploy modules to ignore some troubled files that are in a NPM package...

There is a kind of undocumented feature that allows you to add an ignore-folders property, which takes a regex pattern (don't include ^ and $, they are appended automatically). Would that already help?

@paxtonhare It has been asked before, can you specify different encodings somehow?

[paxtonhare]

Not sure how you would specify different encodings

I am not sure if it is an encoding issue. I run into similar issue where ml deploy modules failed when trying to deploy unnecessary npm modules.

I fix it using ignore-folders suggested by @grtjn :

ignore-folders=.*/src/(test/mocha|main/node_modules/xquerrail2.framework/node_modules)/.*

@paxtonhare MarkLogic is expecting UTF8, but maybe some of those node_modules files are non-UTF8. I assume the ruby xcc library is reading files with ruby, and then streaming the contents with http. Can you read them with a specific encoding, and then convert the stream to utf8 explicitly for instance? Not sure how to configure that, but I'd think that would be kind of the approach..

The encoding part of this ticket is covered by #181, the ignore part is already supported. Closing this ticket.
