ok this one is my fault. I changed that to FAKE's globbing. and the behaviour is already in FAKE.

Could you try to find a workaround around https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket/blob/master/src/Paket.Core/TemplateFile.fs#L328?

we might even discuss changes to the globbing in FAKE
// @colinbull

I wonder if it really copies the whole directory including subdirectories.

In my case it did

Ok then I think it should go upstream into FAKE

It already annoyed some people there

Go for It

There is a slight subtly here, when we have the trailing slash this allows the globbing implementation to figure out that it is a directory so something like bin\Debug\ will be turned into the following search tokens, [Directory(bin); Directory(Debug)]. Now if we don't have a the trailing slash we get [Directory(bin); Filename(Debug)], this is supports extension-less files. Now considering how rare they I could just test to see if the last token has an extension and emit the correct token. What do you think?

Please take a look at 07a0b07
and fsprojects/FAKE@8f83457 - I thought the if Directory.Exists would handle this?

This causes a fair few test failures. I have added some failing tests and a fix colinbull/FAKE@e3eb041 sent you a PR.

yep. just reverted that thing. It's not correct. And the workarounf Paket will also fail on wildcards ;-(

Should we revert then?

could you please try with 0.33.15 - it uses colin's stuff from FAKE

works fine, thanks

Good too hear 👍

with 57a4455#diff-5850744305c961bd47fb58bd09062c26R329 applied it seems to work even for complicated stuff like: fsprojects/FsReveal@18fcad5#diff-38a9089c5d441003f1b29b8880065f07R15
