Angry Rake Deploy due to sync app's artifact...

[Brian Moses]

I use the Android App,  FolderSync to keep my ..\source\_posts folder synchronized up to Google Drive on both my phone and tablet.

That app places a file named ".ttxfolder" which must contain some data about when it was last synch'ed up.

However,  this file is making the "rake deploy" fail:

O:\>rake deploy

cp -r source/Images/2013/Monarch Lake/.picasa.ini public/Images/2013/Monarch Lake/.picasa.ini

cp -r source/_posts/.ttxfolder public/_posts/.ttxfolder

rake aborted!

No such file or directory - public/_posts/.ttxfolder

Tasks: TOP => copydot

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

 I wound up "fixing" it by modifying the rake file in the copydot task, see the highlighted text below...

desc "copy dot files for deployment"

task :copydot, :source, :dest do |t, args|

  FileList["#{args.source}/**/.*"].exclude("**/.", "**/..", "**/.DS_Store", "**/._*", "source/_posts/.ttxfolder").each do |file|

    cp_r file, file.gsub(/#{args.source}/, "#{args.dest}") unless File.directory?(file)

  end

end

I'm pretty much a neophyte when it comes to tinkering with the Rakefile,  so I thought it'd make sense if I ran it by some other sets of eyeballs.  My solution seems to work, but there's always the chance that I'm overlooking something.

Thanks for your help!
