[FEATURE] Add ability to ignore files if they don't exist #253
Comments
This is a completely reasonable idea, I think. The inverse of this, I notice that Maybe a decent way forward is to implement |
What / Why
Would be nice if there was a way to specify in the tar options to ignore files if they don't exist.
In my code, I am specifying a list of files that I want to compress into an archive, but it's in a dynamic directory so sometimes the files get removed. This will spit out an error with lstat saying that it does not exist.
When
Simply have an argument in the options table for
tar.c
How
Could probably do it and have it almost like a "less strict" mode. When the file is being retrieved for the archive, have a checker that is like
if(!fs.existsSync(file)) { return }
or something.Current Behavior
Feeding in a list of files in an array, and having one of them not exist will pass an error.
Expected Behavior
Having an option to specify something like
ignoreNotFound
should have it just ignore any entries in the array that do not exist.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
