I can't seem to create an Ignore Folder

Unity Services

Using 2021.3.34f1 LTS, Version Control 2.2

I now understand that once something has been uploaded to the Cloud, you can’t add it to an Ignore list.

However, I’m not sure how to even create an Ignore Folder.

  1. I create a folder in my Unity Project
  2. Right Click and Click “Add to Ignore List”. Adding both the folder and the folder path
  3. It immediately moves to the Added/Private Pending Changes with the Green Plus
  4. If I do a Push, it then gets marked as “Controlled” in the Client and it’s just like everything else.

I do have one folder I managed to make private (grey circle with a bar icon), but I have no idea how I did it. What am I missing?

Hi @Bmco ,

If you wish to ignore items, you should have the item in ignore.conf(Plastic SCM blog: Definitive ignore.conf for Unity projects)
Is the status of the item that you did “Add to Ignore List” defined in your ignore.conf?

The folder shows up in my ignore.conf file, but still get pushed anyway

Hi @Bmco ,

I cannot find any issue in ignore.conf file, so it would be better to take a look at your step-by-step case.

Can you please open a support ticket with the Unity DevOps Version Control team? Please attach the link to this forum to the ticket. I will arrange a meeting with you to debug the issue further.

I probably won’t file the ticket. I have 1 ignore folder now and will make that a parent folder (all sub folders auto-set to ignore).

I’m still way back in 2021.3.34 (vc 2.2.0). A slightly earlier version of 2021.3 and vc prevented anything from being Locked. I’m assuming this is possibly related to that.

I’m hanging on to 2021 LTS until Unity 6 LTS hits. I want a fresh start with DevOps in a current version (we’re dealing with some other issues as well…Pushing Scenes, Moving folders with more than 5+ files and some minor stuff).

If a file is “Added and Private” rather than just “Private,” then it has been explicitly added to the repository (It may be that the Unity Version Control package does this by default). If you wish for it to be ignored, you should select the file/folder in the Pending Changes view and select Undo. This will remove the “Added” status, reverting it to being just “Private,” and therefore will be affected by your ignore rules.
