compile unable to handle subfolder

[kennethlimcp]

This problem arises due to Spark-CLI since the WEB IDE never allowed sub-folders

e:\SDcompile\SD
e:\SDcompile\Spark-CardInfo_FRAMrw.cpp
attempting to compile firmware
pushing file: e:\SDcompile\SD
pushing file: e:\SDcompile\Spark-CardInfo_FRAMrw.cpp

stream.js:94
throw er; // Unhandled stream error in pipe.

Error: EISDIR, read

Hmm, files in subdirectories are okay, but it's probably mad because the subdir itself is getting included instead of its contents.

Yup. I'm having the same issue. A solution is to include the files in spark.include, but that will "promote" these files to the project's "root folder" in the cloud when compiling. So say I was doing #include "mylib/stuff.h" and I added mylib/stuff.h to spark.include it wouldn't work and I would instead have to do #include "stuff.h". But that's probably a separate issue.

I hit the same problem today, and also the issue with needing some files in an include folder. I'm wondering if the cli should take a json.file so that the build details can be configured:

• root directory (assume cwd?)
• files/directories to include in the compile
• include directories (for mylib/stuff.h case)
• list of libraries to bring in so code can compile against the existing suite of online libraries.

Just adding a 👍 because I helped a user overcome this issue today.

added support for globs in 0.4.6, so to include subfolders use the following spark.include file:

**\*.h
**\*.cpp
**\*.c
**\*.ino

still initially off by default to avoid confusion / breaking changes
