Infinite .couscous/generated loop + excludes ignored

[geekish]

I'm getting an infinite loop of directories e.g. .couscous/generated/.couscous/generated/....

Couscous also appears to be ignoring my excludes, e.g. bower_components. I tried both the %gitignore% and listing every directory/file and neither worked. I'm not sure if this is the cause of the infinite loop, a side effect, or an unrelated bug.

I tried using both my global install and a fresh, local couscous.phar. Same result.

@geekish that's weird, .couscous is added manually here: https://github.com/CouscousPHP/Couscous/blob/master/src/Model/Project.php#L136 Is that a public repository that I could try? Are you running the command with the --target option or with a different directory specified (i.e. running the command outside of the repository directory)?

I did a bit of retesting yesterday and I seem to be able to prevent the infinite loop from happening if I run couscous clear before couscous preview/generate. I was using the default directory.

I'm noticing though that excludes are not taken into account in the LoadAssets step or the ProcessTwigFiles step, where new instances of Finder are used.

Right because (IIRC) the template is in a sub-directory, so excludes apply to the root directory, do you have customized the template directory? And what about the 2 other questions?

I was trying to preview a template in its own directory using template: ., so it wasn't in a subdirectory. I can definitely see how that could cause problems, but I saw it in the repo for Template-Light so I thought I'd see if it worked.

As for running the command I was used a global composer install of couscous, and couscous.phar, both from directly inside the template repository, with no special options/flags.

The repository isn't public because it's a WIP, but I will be sure to test template: ., and actually copying the template directory into the project I'm designing it for.

Same here. I was testing https://github.com/CouscousPHP/Template-Basic
And here the result:

Pretty big. You may check the disk usage: du -h . @ https://u.teknik.io/EvACG.txt

As @geekish said, after I removed these on couscous.yml

template:
    directory: .

It works fine.
