mbed-cli: mbed deploy does not respect .mbedignore

I have a repo that contains several directories, including a PCB design. The PCB design contains files named <library name>.lib. I have added a .mbedignore file, which specifies all the non-code directories, but mbed deploy does not respect this, insisting on trying to parse my PCB library directories.

@bridadan thank you for your comments. Has there been any thought on refactoring the tools away from mbed-os? Keep the OS as its own entity and concentrate the tools either here or in third repository (if there is other dependencies). Currently there is maybe a bit too tight coupling between mbed-os and mbed-cli versions and these two cannot deviate too far before strange errors start to occur, possible because some of the tool changes are done on both sides. But yes, I can image this is not trivial in any case.

I think we have ventured off topic of this issue.

Agreed. See reference above.

Well the issue is specifically that mbed deploy still deploys .lib files that are either ignored directly by .mbedignore files or they are contained within a directory that is ignore by .mbedignore files.

It sounds like we don’t intend to change this, so I think it’s still safe to close this as “won’t fix” @theotherjimmy ?
