Wildard support? about librarymanager HOT 5 CLOSED

Support for minimatch-based globs added in #534. This will show up in the VS 16.5 preview releases (we'll release NuGet packages at the same time; packages supporting this feature will be versioned 2.1 or higher).

We look for any of *?[ to determine if a specified file is a pattern, as well as a leading ! for exclusions. ** can be used to match any level of folder, as in the bootstrap example above. Any file specified which does not match these new rules will behave exactly as it does today.

You definitely need wildcard support for referencing Bootstrap via libman, you don't want the whole package to be downloaded but only certain folders. E.g.,:

files: [ "scss/**/*.scss" ]

would be nice!

Update:
Found that omitting the files collection entirely defaults to all files. Though it'd be nice to be able to specify a folder's children explicitly using a wildcard.

As a continuation of my example above, the following example fails on the very first webp file (specifically webp/account-login-2x.webp) with this message in the Library Manager output window

webp/account-login-2x.webp could not be written to disk. Make sure the file name is correct

The webp files are in the desiredState.Files collection, but the cache folder it's trying to copy from is missing the webp folder in it's entirety.

I would love support for either wildcards or just specifying a directory as a file. Both supported cdn's support viewing directory contents so this should be possible.

how does this get attention, cuz i completely agree.
