Ignore files / directories?

See original GitHub issue

First off, great project, thank you!

I’m trying to prevent obfuscation of a directory because the javascript-obfuscatory is erring on unexpected tokens. I’m sure it’s the nature of the files that are being obfuscated, and that’s fine. I tried adding:

/* javascript-obfuscator:disable */

However, the obfuscation process still seems to at least be reading the files (even though they aren’t being obfuscated) and therefore still throwing an error. So my question is:

Is it possible to actively ignore a file or, better yet, an entire directory?

For reference, this is the error:

Yes. If a file is excluded - it should not be produced by the obfuscator. I just interested in this error:

throw new Error(errorMessage);

Want to understand why it’s happening.

About your glob. Try this: lib/templates/**/** without ./ characters at the start. I tested and it works

Hey @sanex3339 , Thanks for the reply. I gave that a shot, but no dice.

javascript-obfuscator ./lib --exclude=./lib/templates/ --output ./lib-o --config=obfuscator.json

still results in:

/Users/mjc/.nvm/versions/node/v12.18.4/lib/node_modules/javascript-obfuscator/dist/webpack:/javascript-obfuscator/src/ASTParserFacade.ts:56
            throw new Error(errorMessage);
