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.
In PHP, the `vendor` directory is always ignored in Git repositories, even if it's not mentioned in the `.gitignore` file. Even if I add it in `.gitignore` explicitely NOT to be ignored (`!/vendor/`). I can't find any option to disable the ignoring. Ignoring this directory by default seems shortsighted at best, but not having the option to disable this behaviour makes it a bug.
It works as designed. If you want to version your vendor directory, simply use [1]. Thanks for reporting. [1] git add vendor
How can this be as designed when it's doesn't work as Git was designed? `git add vendor` works when using the normal command-line git, but Netbeans' implementation of `git commit` keeps ignoring the `vendor` regardless of whether it was added; any changes in the `vendor` directory keep being ignored by Netbeans and I keep having to use the command line Git. This behaviour makes me unable to use the Git support built into Netbeans, as the Git implementation of Netbeans fails to treat the `vendor` directory as a normal directory, despite the fact that the `vendor` directory has no special meaning to Git. At the very least there should be an option to turn off this "Ignore special folders" feature so all the projects (like Magento or basically anything that deploys using git repositories) that need to include a `vendor` directory can still use Netbeans.
(In reply to mwvdlee from comment #2) > How can this be as designed when it's doesn't work as Git was designed? Not git but NetBeans ;) Our decision is based on - as we believe - common use case that "vendor" (or "node_modules" for npm etc.) directories are usually not put under SCM (and we have no report against npm or Bower so far). So, if I can ask, what is your reason to put this directory under SCM? Your explanation could help us to understand why someone wants to do it. Thanks.
My use-case is a few dozen or so PHP websites that are deployed using Git (with Gitolote and a number of scripts hooked into git, like these: https://github.com/vanderlee/gitolite-hooks). Deploying like this is fairly common and results in (near-)zero downtime. But this works if and only if all required files are in the repository. Requiring an additional step to update Composer (or indeed NPM/Bower for JS) means you need to have downtime. Besides, there is the issue that excluding `vendor` (or `node_modules`) is trivial to do with `.gitignore` files if needed, and should (not to say "must") be done using a `.gitignore` file anyway to ensure compatibility with tools other than NetBeans. NetBeans could just as easily add the `vendor` directory to `.gitignore` by default, then allow people with use-cases similar to me to remove it (or comment it out) manually. At the very least it should allow `.gitignore` to explicitely include such folders using something like `!/vendor/`. Currently Netbeans ignores the user's choices made in `.gitignore` with regards to these folders.
OK, I will add a checkbox to the Composer Options (in IDE Options), something like "Ignore 'vendor' directory from versioning" (or any idea for better wording? ;) I will do the same for npm and Bower tools. Thanks for reporting.
That fix would be perfect. I'm assuming they'll be enabled by default, to maintain current (8.1) functionality. The wording seems fine to me. Thank you!

Please, uncheck it (available for Bower, npm and Composer) and ideally restart the IDE. > The wording seems fine to me. Fine. > Thank you!

Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201603160001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/681ac116d63b User: Tomas Mysik <tmysik@netbeans.org> Log: #258345 - 'vendor' directory always ignored Composer part.
*** Bug 268375 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
/vendor directory still forcefully git ignored by Netbeans 8.2 even though I unchecked the option "Permanently ignore non-shareable folders" in Options > Teams > Versioning and restarted Netbeans. I don't have /vendor/ on my .gitignore file. (btw Netbeans for PHP is awesome!)
This issue is fixed. Please, report a new issue with _exact_ steps to reproduce. Also, always attach your IDE log [1] once the problem occurs. Thanks. [1] http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqLogMessagesFile
