Add ignored_static similar to ignore_content but for the static folder

[savchenko]

Bug Report

Environment

Zola version: v0.15.3

Expected Behavior

ignored_content = ["*.icc", "readme.*", "README.*"]

Should exclude foobar.icc and README.md.

Current Behavior

Both files are included in the output_dir.

Step to reproduce

Running as following:

base_url = "https://foobar.com"
minify_html = false
output_dir = "_build"
compile_sass = false
build_search_index = false
ignored_content = ["*.icc", "readme.*", "Readme.*", "README.*"]

[slugify]
paths = "safe"
taxonomies = "safe"
anchors = "safe"

[markdown]
highlight_code = false

P.S. While we are at it, can ignored_content support regexp? Would allow much neater ?readme.* and such.

I've tried with one one of the ignored_content testcase and it seems to work as expected, that's weird.

P.S. While we are at it, can ignored_content support regexp? Would allow much neater ?readme.* and such.

ignored_content are globs so we support whatever https://docs.rs/globset/latest/globset/ is supported, not planning to add anything else.

Any updates?

Re-tested with v0.16.1 on Win10 and Debian 11 running on WSL2.

File ./static/img/README.md is copied to ./public/img/README.md after zola build.

Config file:

base_url = "http://localhost/"
ignored_content = ["*.icc", "readme.*", "Readme.*", "README.*"]
compile_sass = false
build_search_index = false

[markdown]
highlight_code = false

[Keats]

Ah ignored_content is only applied in the content directory, not in static

[savchenko]

Wouldn't it make sense to use it for both locations?

[Keats]

It was initially meant to not include some files that are artifacts of building pages (like notes or whatever). I don't think it makes sense to have it filter the static folder which has always been "just copy all the content in there"

[savchenko]

OK, can it be made optional? Plenty of use-cases where certain content in /static is useful during development/build and unnecessary in production.

[Keats]

It would be a new config variable, ignored_content does refer to the content directory. ignore_static?

[savchenko]

Perfect.

I will work on this one.

Sorry to nag, but with #2209 merged, is there anything left to do?
Can this issue be closed?
