Hello,

I'm wondering if there's a way to exclude a directory from being included in the artifact that get created during the build process.
We use zip archives and deploy to AppVeyor agent environment.

Thanks

    Hi Andrew,

    Do I understand correctly that you are selecting some folder as an artifact and AppVeyor produces zip archive from it, and you what some sub-folder to be excluded from this archive? If yes, maybe you can simple delete that sub-folder as part of some script which happens before artifacts packaging (for example after_test script)?

    Ilya.
