Allow skip files or folder from sync delete.

[Jonathan Rico]

That, I wonder if I can tell to the sync function to sync all files and folder except my "/uploads" folder.
Thanks :)

you can create a couple of gulp streams and the one that deal with upload wont pipe into sync()
Let me know if this works

[Jonathan Rico]

How can I do?

this is my folder is like this but whit more folders and files in others difference paths

dist/
`--public/
   |--icon.ico
   |--xml.xml
   |--css/
   |  `--css.css
   |--scripts/
   |  `--script.js
   |--assets/
   |  `--script.js
   `--uploads/
      `--empty--

all that files can change but uploads folder always will be empty in local, but with other random files in S3.

this is my current task

gulp.task('publish', function () {
  var gzip = gulp.src('dist/public/**/*.{js,css}').pipe(awspublish.gzip());
  var plain = gulp.src([ 'dist/public/**/*', '!dist/public/**/*.{js,css}' ]);

  return merge(gzip, plain)
    .pipe(publisher.publish(headers))
    .pipe(publisher.sync())
    .pipe(publisher.cache())
    .pipe(awspublish.reporter());
});

the base is "dist/public/" then all files goes to the right path in the s3 bucket.
but "uploads/" is synchronised too and all files on it deleted.

sorry, can you help me? I don't get it. Not easy solution just a solution where I must to specify a lot of files and folders to skip the upload folder.

[Jonathan Rico]

I found a solution just adding more sync with prefix to the critical folders

gulp.task('publish', function () {
  var gzip = gulp.src('dist/public/**/*.{js,css}').pipe(awspublish.gzip());
  var plain = gulp.src([ 'dist/public/**/*', '!dist/public/**/*.{js,css}' ]);

  return merge(gzip, plain)
    .pipe(publisher.publish(headers))
    .pipe(publisher.sync('css/'))
    .pipe(publisher.sync('scripts/'))
    .pipe(publisher.sync('assets/'))
    .pipe(publisher.cache())
    .pipe(awspublish.reporter());
});

I hope this help someone else.

note: sync allow array publisher.sync(['css/','scripts/']) but not works for me.
