noProcess ignore files that start with .

[antonjb]

Hello Grunt,

I'm running into an issue with a custom grunt-init template. The copyAndProcess method looks like this

init.copyAndProcess(files, props, {noProcess: '{.git,node_modules,.sass-cache,.tmp,build,modules,source}/**'});

There's reasons the node modules are kept inside the node_modules directory and not installed afterwards which isn't particularly relevant to this issue. When running the init it errors on a file deep within the dependencies of grunt-contrib-imagemin

node_modules/grunt-contrib-imagemin/node_modules/imagemin/node_modules/imagemin-
gifsicle/node_modules/gifsicle/node_modules/bin-
build/node_modules/download/node_modules/decompress-tar/node_modules/strip-
dirs/node_modules/is-absolute/.verbrc.md...Warning: An error occurred while processing a template
(name is not defined). Use --force to continue.

Inside .verbrc.md is {%= name %} which is never set when you run the template. As a test I created a new folder and added a file called .test which contained {%= name %} and told grunt-init to not process that folder. It ignores the noProcess and changes the {%= name %} to the text set in prompt.

I would expect node_modules/** to ignore everything within that folder and copy the contents across without processing the templates, even if it started with a dot(.)

I've been able to get it working using the following:

init.copyAndProcess(files, props, {noProcess: '{.git,node_modules,.sass-cache,.tmp,build,modules,source}/**/{.,}*'});

But I still think the basic version of ignoring the folder should've worked. Am I missing something or is this an issue?
