NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CheckForUnwantedFiles - Check for unwanted files

VERSION

Version 0.0100, released 2020-12-29.

SYNOPSIS

In dist.ini (though it is more useful in a PluginBundle):

    [CheckForUnwantedFiles]
    unwanted_file = .travis.yml
    unwanted_file = .github/

DESCRIPTION

This plugin checks the development directory (not the build directory) for unwanted files. This is useful when, for instance, switching CI providers, and you don't want to have the previous provider's configuration files lingering around and you are too forgetful to remember to check for them when doing a new release after the switch.

It is run at the AfterBuild stage, and takes one (repeatable) argument: unwanted_file. It is a fatal error if any unwanted file is found. And, despite its name, it works just as well with unwanted directories.

So:

1. Remove the plugin that generates the file from the bundle

2. Add this plugin to the bundle

3. Add the path to the file gets generated as an unwanted_file

4. You must delete the unwanted file before the distribution can be built
