--only and --ignore clarity about cli HOT 12 CLOSED

The above solution is not a "solution". SWC's configuration leaves a LOT to be desired, which is unfortunate since it is otherwise such an exceptional tool.

The ability to specify which files should be included & excluded is a basic requirement of configuration. It shouldn't be this hard to do. There shouldn't be this many broken configuration options in the CLI or SWCRC.

I sincerely hope this gets resolved.

from cli.

Once problem with using exclude in swcrc is that it would break in jest tests. If I add above exclude then @swc/jest will error in jest with

cannot process file because it's ignored by .swcrc

see this build https://github.com/swc-project/cli/pull/32/checks?check_run_id=2713136059

from cli.

The following solution should work. Summary: Override swc config for files that require @swc/jest.

const swcConfig = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(`${__dirname}/.swcrc`, "utf-8"));

// ---
  transform: {
    ".+\\.ts$": [
      "@swc/jest",
      {
        ...swcConfig,
        exclude: [],
        swcrc: false,
      },
    ],
  },
// ---

Any update? Now I can only have 2 swcrc for build and test. I have just turned my oss into swc based but now frustrated for this.

from cli.

I'll also mention that the --ignore option isn't working for us (on latest 0.1.57).
A workaround is to have 2 .swcrc, but this is not ideal :p

Our repo looks like:

📁 src
  📁 __tests__
  📁 components

And we're running swc ./src/ -d lib --ignore src/**/__tests__/*.tsx. The tests get transpiled to lib despite the --ignore.

from cli.

Hi guys, is there any update on the subject ? I am still struggling to ignore files through the --ignore arg using the 0.1.57.

from cli.

I this is now supported by swcrc, "exclude": "(tests|mocks)", should we pass this options via cli as well ? @kdy1

from cli.

This issue was fixed in 0.1.54(#90), but still exists in 0.1.55.
In version 0.1.54, copying non-compilable files was not work(ignored files were not copied)

from cli.

--ignore, --only are not supported at all.

Dir command compilation

File command compilation

And cli options that are consumed by the code (program):

https://github.dev/swc-project/cli/blob/ec9a985ba8ce0fa89c395a12c129a34d235e35e2/src/swc/options.ts#L248

  const cliOptions: CliOptions = {
    outDir: opts.outDir,
    outFile: opts.outFile,
    filename: opts.filename,
    filenames,
    sync: !!opts.sync,
    sourceMapTarget: opts.sourceMapTarget,
    extensions: opts.extensions || DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS,
    watch: !!opts.watch,
    copyFiles: !!opts.copyFiles,
    includeDotfiles: !!opts.includeDotfiles,
    deleteDirOnStart: Boolean(opts.deleteDirOnStart),
    quiet: !!opts.quiet,
  };

I guess the API is not stable yet. And things may change in the future.

I guess also for testing. One as like with many tools and tsconfig. One can make different config files for different purposes. And hence separating the testing one from the main one.

from cli.

Same error for vitest.

Error: cannot process file because it's ignored by .swcrc

from cli.

Same problem. Neither "exclude" nor "ignore" options are working properly yet.

@josteph Are you still willing to open a PR? If not, I'll work on it
