Using dotenv with Claudia

[duboff]

Hi, previously I was able to use dotenv with Claudia by adding my .env file to the files property of the package.json. However, now it is ignored. I imagine this is because the file is in .gitignore. Can you please clarify if this is a desired behaviour?

I would think files property should dominate over .gitignore

files should override .gitignore, i'll check. is your .env explicitly included in the files section?

[gojko]

this is fixed in 1.2.7, now on NPM. if the files property is specified in package.json, Claudia now just ignores .gitignore/.npmignore. Please let me know if this solved your problem

[duboff]

Confirm, everything works as expected. Thank you!

Shouldn't the same apply to folders? Currently the "files" property has precedence over .gitignore / .npmignore for individual files, but not folders.

@jmike since 2.2.0 claudia just uses npm pack to produce the package, so check the NPM package.json docs if you need to exclude/include folders. you can test if it gets created correctly by just running npm pack directly

the only exception is node_modules, which gets re-installed, but you can force claudia to use your local copy by using --use-local-dependencies
