How to avoid recurse behavior on directories supplied in format-resources:?

      format-resources:
        - wiley-ndj-v5
        - _environment

wiley-ndj-v5/ is a directory with many files and subdirectories. I would like Quarto not to put everything at the root of the project but just the directory wiley-ndj-v5/. Is there a way?

My plan is then to use _environment as:

TEXINPUTS="wiley-ndj-v5"

Related to: #6526.

Do you have a concrete example? A small Git repository maybe?

[ramiromagno]

The only example I have is this extension: https://github.com/ramiromagno/wiley-njd/. But I can try to make a smaller extension. See: ramiromagno/wiley-njd#13.

It seems like an issue following a change we made...

File globbing now works in format resources following this change 7d95eb8 to solve #6241

quarto-cli/src/extension/extension.ts

Lines 724 to 736 in e09ae92

	if (formatMeta[kFormatResources]) {
	// Resolve any globs in format resources
	const resolved = resolvePathGlobs(
	extensionDir,
	formatMeta[kFormatResources] as string[],
	[],
	);
	if (resolved.include.length > 0) {
	formatMeta[kFormatResources] = resolved.include.map((include) => {
	return relative(extensionDir, include);
	});
	}
	}

And this is a 1.4 regression compared to 1.3, because now format-resources does not accept directory anymore. This has a big impact on some template.

Using v1.4.516 will copy the directory and v1.4.517 and later will copy the file inside the directory.

So I will open an issue about this, because we need to either revert or adapt, or document the changes.

Note that #6241 was related to another one of your discussion item @ramiromagno 😉

• Does file globbing work in "format-resources:" in `_extension.yml`? #6229

So we introduced the support following your comment, but it broke this. 😅

Tracked at #9918 now
