`dat share` always gives `(empty archive)`

• OS: Darwin Kernel Version 15.5.0
• node: v5.12.0
• npm: 3.10.10
• dat: 13.6.0

When I run:

mkdir test
cd test
echo "Hello World" > hello.txt
dat share

I always get: Sharing dat: (empty archive)

When I run it with DEBUG=dat-node dat share I can see dat-node IMPORT ignore: /hello.txt.

Why is it ignoring my file? Does not seem to matter what the file is called.

Published a new version of dat-ignore@1.1.1, which should fix this and added a test to catch this in dat-node =).

Thanks for catching this.

Are you sharing from the root as printed in debug? Or another directory?

Good catch! I had a .tmp segment in my parent directory path which IMO should be valid.

Here is a minimal failing test case:

cd ~/Desktop

rm -Rf .tmp || true
mkdir .tmp
cd .tmp

nvm use 5
npm install -g dat

echo "Hello World" > hello.txt
dat share
