Issue #297

Grunt job is not ignoring hidden directories #297

Hi @ewallah ,

it seems that there are a few coding-style little changes to apply, plus unit tests are failing with your patch.

Is it ok if I amend your branch to make it CI compliant? Other than that, I think that the approach is correct and we can skip dot files without problem (at very least for grunt purposes).

Oh, @ewallah,

I just was adding here a test and confirmed that FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS does not skip all dot (hidden) files (.something.txt, .git, ...) but, exclusively, the "." and ".." directories. Hidden files and folders continue being returned by the iterator.

So, this doesn't seem to be enough to achieve what was desired (skip hidden dirs).

Weird, since I added the SKIP_DOTS, I do not see any permission errors any more.

Feel free to add/change whatever is necessary!

See my comment on #297: This fix does not solve the problem but instead breaks the entire backup mechanism.
