 Description   

Users can set the property magnolia.resources.filesystem.observation.excludedDirectories to exclude directories from being observed for changes (see docu).

On mac or linux, users may want to exclude directories starting with a dot such as .idea or .git. Apparently, when adding directories starting with a dot to the given property, these dirs are _not_excluded.

Example configurations:

magnolia.resources.filesystem.observation.excludedDirectories=.idea,META-INF,WEB-INF,cache,docroot,logs,repositories,tmp
magnolia.resources.filesystem.observation.excludedDirectories=\.idea,META-INF,WEB-INF,cache,docroot,logs,repositories,tmp

In both cases .idea is still observed.


 

Acceptance criteria

Enable the possibility to exclude "dot-folders" aka "hidden folders".
Make sure we have a unit test for this case.
Also make sure that the exclude mechanism works on all supported operating systems. :^)
