How to properly setup docker-sync to exclude folders - docker

Question

I am trying to setup docker-sync to exclude my app/cache and app/logs folder but it is not working.
Things I've tried:
Using sync_excludes: ['.idea', 'app/cache/', 'app/logs/'] but it will be translated to something like this
command unison -ignore='Name .idea' -ignore='Name app/cache/*'
-ignore='Name app/logs/*'
So then I tried using sync_args and set like this:
sync_args:
- "-debug verbose"
- "-ignore='Path app/cache'"
- "-ignore='Path app/logs'"
command unison -ignore='Name .idea' -ignore='Name systems' \
-debug verbose -ignore='Path app/cache/*' -ignore='Path app/logs/*'
looking at the logs I can see this
[unox][DEBUG]: recvCmd: DIR
[unox][DEBUG]: sendCmd: OK
[fswatch+] >> OK
[pred] immutable 'app/cache' = false
[pred] ignore 'app/cache/prod' = true
[pred] ignorenot 'app/cache/prod' = false
[ignore] buildUpdateChildren: ignoring path app/cache/prod
But this still seeing the events being triggered and it is still syncing to my host machine.
[pred] ignore 'app/cache/prod/annotations/5702f47f407ddb07532bfd60d8ea2919489ef4bc#__construct.cache.php' = false
[pred] ignore 'app/cache/prod/annotations/f21b469a2214195ff16e2af43f249bdbfa245c25#findPublishedOr404.cache.php' = false
Anyone know what I am missing?
my last version look like this:
version: "2"
options:
# optional, activate this if you need to debug something, default is false
# IMPORTANT: do not run stable with this, it creates a memory leak, turn off verbose when you are done testing
verbose: true
syncs:
#IMPORTANT: ensure this name is unique
dt-akeneo-unison-sync:
notify_terminal: true
# which folder to watch / sync from - you can use tilde (~), it will get expanded. Be aware that the trailing slash makes a difference
# if you add them, only the inner parts of the folder gets synced, otherwise the parent folder will be synced as top-level folder
src: './'
# the files should be own by root in the target cointainer
sync_userid: 1000
sync_strategy: 'unison'
# optional, a list of regular expressions to exclude from the fswatch - see fswatch docs for details
watch_excludes: ['\.git', '\.gitignore', '.*\.md']
sync_args:
- "-debug verbose" #force Unison to choose the file with the later (earlier) modtime
- "-ignore='Path app/cache'"
- "-ignore='Path app/logs'"
- "-ignore='Path .git'"
- "-ignore='Path .git'"
- "-ignore='Path vendor'"
- "-ignore='Path upgrades'"
- "-ignore='Path systems'"
# optional: use this to switch to fswatch verbose mode
watch_args: '-v'

Don't know if it's too late.
I have almost the same setup:
OSx 10.12.6
Docker version 18.06.0-ce, build 0ffa825
docker-sync v 0.5.7
My project structure looks like this
./
build
changes
docker
etc
var
some-yml-files.yml
My docker-sync.yml looks like this
version: "2"
options:
verbose: true
syncs:
my-appcode-sync: # tip: add -sync and you keep consistent names as a convention
src: '.'
# sync_strategy: 'native_osx' # not needed, this is the default now
sync_excludes: ['docker/var', 'changes', '.git', '.idea']
I took this from https://github.com/EugenMayer/docker-sync/issues/421#issuecomment-309244156
Note the src: '.'. Initially I used src: './' like you did and ignoring folders didn't work either. After removing the / it worked for me.
