排除用于在 Github 操作上创建工件文件的文件

Question

I'm new to Github Actions. I have a project using node_modules. I would like to create artifact files without including node_modules on Github Actions since with node_modules it takes a while to create and download because of the file size. Is there a way to do this?

This one seems a bit related with this but could not figure it out how. https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact/issues/44

Answer 1

I don't think it's possible to exclude paths yet because the action only accepts a single path. According to the issue you linked, they are looking to add multiple path support in the future.

The workaround I've used is just to delete the node_modules directory before creating the artifact.

For example:

      - run: |
          npm ci
          npm run build
          npm run test
          npm run package
          rm -rf node_modules

      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: my-artifact
          path: .

Answer 2

You can use ignore by pattern

  - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
    with:
      name: my-artifact
      path: |
         .
         !./node_modules
