This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Let's say you have a line in your .gitignore file like this: /logs/* You intend to ignore all (uncommitted) contents of the 'logs' directory but not the directory itself. If 'logs' actually contains (uncommitted) files, there is no problem. Those files are shown grayed out (in the 'projects' pane, for example) and there are no apparent side-effects. However, if 'logs' does not contain any (uncommitted) contents, the next sibling of 'logs' will be grayed out instead. So maybe my directory structure is something like this: ... libs/ logs/ myimportantstuff/ ... Then 'myimportantstuff' will actually be grayed out, at least until logs contains (uncommitted) items. The workaround is, of course, to put some uncommitted dummy file in directories like this.
All my files in src directory are being ignored and marked grey eventhough I completly removed .gitignore files. Just changes in working dir are now marked with green color. Command line git works as expected, I guess this behaviour is quite easy to reproduce.

Hmm...I have another example, which seems to be an incorrect behaviour regarding .gitignore: Assume a project we have: foo/bar/_file.txt foo/bar/file.txt My .gitignore has this line: foo/bar/[^_]*.txt This should lead to git ignoring the file.txt, but not the _file.txt in foo/bar. It works correctly on gitbash, but not in NB 7.2 on OS WIN.
Seems like others have found a few bugs related to this issue (or maybe they are all just different manifestations of the same) so I just want to confirm that the original bug still exists in Netbeans 7.2. Again, it's easy to work around so I understand if fixing it is not a high priority.
It seems that this bug still exists in 7.3
Now I can reproduce the problem, what I do is edit nbproject/project.properties file changing the property dist.dir to target another directory, after that I run the action clean and build, then all my source and test files get the mark [I] indicating as Ignored files, and if I see my .gitignore file is empty, I really would like you can solve the problem whit this information, thank you
(In reply to comment #6) > and if I see my .gitignore file is empty Your .gitignore is empty? Then it's a different issue. This one is about incorrectly handling /folder/* records in the .gitignore file. I suggest you file another issue and attach the content of your nbproject/project.properties
This doesn't seem purely related to git. I'm using mercurial and seeing this exact same issue where things are grayed out for no valid reason. I rollover files in the IDE and part of the description says "Ignored" when that is incorrect. Any clue on this yet? What information do you need? Has an NB developer been able to replicate? I'm using 7.3.1; this was also happening in 7.3.
(In reply to comment #8) > This doesn't seem purely related to git. It is. Because it is the result of improperly parsed .gitignore file. > I'm using mercurial and seeing this exact same issue where things are grayed out for no valid reason.

It may be caused by your project setup - some folders are marked as ignore/private by your project (as build, dist folders etc.) > What information do you need? messages.log, screenshot of the projects view, content of .hgignore file, and a test project (at best) demonstrating the problem. I am not interested in source files. Because i assume you're talking about ignoring folders, pure folders structure would suffice. > Has an NB developer been able to replicate? Probably not.
I've been using the git plugin (v1.8.2.1) on NetBeans (7.3) with success, but I came across a situation which seems to be related to the title of this issue. I have a folder I want to ignore next a folder I don't want ignored, like so /parent/ /parent/child1/ < I want to ignore this one /parent/child2/ I don't want to use a specific .gitignore rule, such as: /parent/child1/ but rather a generic rule like /parent/ !/parent/child2/ !/parent/child2/* because the "sibling" folders are out of my control (they are client-specific) but due to architecture reasons must be kept there. I am doing this as documented in https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitignore.html. The problem is that using the current plugin version, in NetBeans 7.3, I'm unable to do this correctly. I am apparently using the correct syntax, as on the CLI git correctly identifies the files to commit (and the ones that were modified, etc.), but on the IDE I get nothing. Basically it seems as though (these rules) !/parent/child2/ !/parent/child2/* aren't even being taken into account. Is this a bug? Is this intentional? What would be a workaround if the answer to this question is 'yes'?
My project is under mercurial control, not git, but I seem to have the same issue, i.e. Netbeans incorrectly marks project files as ignored.
I'm also encountering this bug (I definitely think it comes from Netbeans) I'm using Netbeans 7.4 Here is how to reproduce the bug: Create a new dir XX and jump into it, and execute then those commands: #.......................................... mkdir build touch build/phpcs.xml mkdir src touch src/foo.php mkdir vendor echo '/build/*' > .gitignore echo '!build/phpcs.xml' >> .gitignore echo '/nbproject/' >> .gitignore git init git add . git commit -am "initial commit" #.......................................... Then create a Netbeans PHP project with existing source, with this new dir XX as source path Wait some seconds, and the "src" directory should be greyed However, if I modify, in a console, the src/foo.php file, then `git status` tells me this file has changed (normal) However NB will keep on greying src and also src/foo.php, it won't scan them for changes As a result, git in console works as expected, but not Netbeans I guess Further more, I've ended in only having those 2 lines in the .gitignore: /build/* /nbproject/ and the bug still occurs As a conclusion, I don't think this bug comes from git whitelisting (!foo), but from the inclusion of /nbproject/ with another wildcard (like /build/*) I hope NB developers will be able to reproduce now
Created attachment 142781 [details] unit test for netbeans
this is a bug in JGit most likely, i cannot fix it and i cannot make any workaround. Looking at JGit's code it seems to me the line 201 should be preceded by matcher.reset() (http://git.eclipse.org/c/jgit/jgit.git/tree/org.eclipse.jgit/src/org/eclipse/jgit/ignore/IgnoreRule.java#n201), after that it starts working for me.
Nice for having found the root cause Ondrej, Next step is to post an issue on: http://www.eclipse.org/jgit/support/ You can do it Ondrej? it would have more weight coming from a NB developer :) Thanks
Thanks Ondrej for your bug report on JGit and diagnostic Bug has been fixed very quickly! Lastly, I guess you could mark this issue as resolved Waiting for 7.4.1 now ;) Good job
(In reply to enzo4 from comment #16) > Lastly, I guess you could mark this issue as resolved > Waiting for 7.4.1 now ;) Unfortunately it's fixed in JGit's 3.2 release only and NetBeans bundles only 3.1. We'll need to upgrade soon.
Can I unsubscribe from this list? At some point during the 2 years since I submitted this bug report, I have quit using Netbeans so I don't care about this issue at all.
Ok and fmi, in which NB release do you schedule to upgrade to JGit 3.2 ?
I'm having the same problem. In my .gitignore there is a line: ompi Which is there to ignore an executable. But Netbeans shows all the files in a folder named "ompi" as ignored even though they are tracked.
Same problem here - NetBeans 7.4 in Linux. There is "csv" entry in my gitignore, but because there are some uncommited files in "csv" folder, the next alphabetical sibling "data" is being ignored when commiting in Netbeans, which is the most unpleasant, because I have to commit files in this folder manually and I'm still forgeting it.
JGit upgraded to 3.2.0 in NetBeans dev builds (and eventually 8.0 release) so it should fix most of the problems described here - at least those when .gitignore contains entries with wildcards and IDE then ignoring different folders/files. Other problems when users ignore a folder and yet keep files under such folders as versioned/committed and IDE ignores them => WONTFIX for performance reasons.

This is supposed to be fixed in 8.0? I'm still having the problem that **/target entries in .gitignore are, well, ignored...
