--exclude option not working?

[jmlopez-rod]

I'm having trouble generating documentation for one of our projects. The basic file structure goes as follows:

├─── .editorconfig 
├─── .gitignore
├─── .npmignore
├─┬ examples
│ ├-- otherTsFiles
├─┬ src 
│ ├─┬ main
│ │ └── index.ts
│ └─┬ test
│   └── index.ts
├─── Makefile
├─── tsconfig.json 
├─── tslint.json 

In other projects I've obtain good results by first changing directory to src then executing the command.

cd src;
../node_modules/.bin/typedoc 
  --out ../docs main
  --target es5 
  --mode modules
  --module commonjs
  --hideGenerator
  --excludePrivate
  --name 'project $(VERSION)'

Unfortunately I am unable to do that again since I need my tsconfig to enable decorators.

The new way I'm attempting to do is

./node_modules/.bin/typedoc
  --out ./docs ./src/main
  --target es5
  --mode modules
  --module commonjs
  --hideGenerator
  --exclude examples/ --excludePrivate
  --name 'project $(VERSION)'

I'm having issues understanding the exclude flag. Somehow the documeation makes everything including the files in the examples and the src/tests directories. Is there a way to only document the files that are within src/main?

Or, if I could switch to the main directory and execute the command, is there a way to specify the tsconfig file?

This was fixed in #387, it's just awaiting release I believe.

You are right, I think it has been released since I did see that code. My problem was that I did not know how to minimatch. I think I fixed it for now, but I do wish there was a way of specifying a directory where to grab the sources. Currently typedoc is reading the sources from my tsconfig. I thought that

--out ./docs ./src/main

Would get the docs from only files in ./src/main but this doesn't seem to be the case.
