Description

Note Not ready for implementation. Deleting the AppMaps before running the archive action may be a suitable workaround.

The build may sometimes produce AppMaps that the user doesn't want to archive or analyze.

Add a CLI option appmap archive --exclude which may be repeated. Each option value is a directory name or file name to exclude from the archive.

Checklist:

  • Define the CLI option.
  • When building the archive, ignore directories and files that match the option.
  • Implement a test(s) as appropriate.
  • Publish a pre-release build of this command so that the archive-action Companion PR can be tested with it.

Research direction

Start at the appmap archive CLI entry point and trace how files and directories are selected for the archive. Define the repeatable --exclude option, verify matching files and directories are omitted with tests, and publish a pre-release build for the linked archive-action Companion PR to test.
