Is there a way to add an exception to the require_tree in a manifest file?

Question

Is there a way you can include all files in a directory except one, or all directories except one? So something like:

require_tree . :except \'this_one\'


        

Answer 1

Depending on the version of your environment the following may be possible:

//= require_tree "." exclude: "file1", "file2"

See this SO thread: Rails 3.1 Sprockets require directives - is there a way to exclude particular files?. Never tried it myself, though.

Answer 2

Instead of

require_tree . :except 'this_one'

write

require_tree "."

stub "this_one"
