How to specify files to ignore when push to Cloud Foundry using cf-gradle-plugin

I am trying to deploy my static application to cloud foundry using cf-gradle-plugin.

in my gradle file I have defined buildpack:

buildpack = "https://github.com/cloudfoundry/staticfile-buildpack.git#v1.1.0"

and files to deploy:

file = file('.')

I would like to specify which files should be not pushed to the cf. I have tried to do it by specifying .cfignore file in the root directory, but it does not work. Does anybody know how to filter files which should be deployed to CF when using cf-gradle-plugin and staticfile buildpack?

Solution

  • There isn't a way to filter files with the v1 version of the Gradle plugin. As you probably saw from your issue on the project, supporting .cfignore should be supported in v2.

    For now, you could use Gradle to package the contents of your project into a zip archive, using the sophisticated filtering rules that Gradle supports, then specify the zip file in the Cloud Foundry Gradle plugin.
