`extend_dirs` cann't process relative path

[jpeterson]

Hello,

I'm trying to use extend_dirs to publish a couple directories that live outside my hexo website (which is contained in a subdirectory of my main repo).

When I run hexo deploy, the directories I've identified are copied into the root of my website directory, but never get deployed. I think this is because only the public folder is being added to the .deploy_git directory. What is needed to actually deploy the contents of the extend_dirs?

I've included my file structure and deployment configuration below.

Thanks!

EDIT: I tested this by creating a directory inside my website folder and referenced that in extend_dirs, and it deploys as expected. It seems this issue only occurs when the directories exist outside the website folder.

File structure:

├─ repo
    ├─ docs
    ├─ src
    ├─ website
        ├─ public
        ├─ scaffolds
        ├─ source
        ├─ themes
        ├─ _config.yml

_config.yml:

deploy:
  type: git
  repo: <repository url>
  branch: gh-pages
  message:
  extend_dirs:
    - ../docs
    - ../src

Taking a look at the source, I think this issue stems from the following line:

https://github.com/hexojs/hexo-deployer-git/blob/master/lib/deployer.js#L130

When pathFn.join encounters a ../ in dir, it outputs:

extendDist === website/src

instead of

extendDist === website/.deploy_git/src

Workaround:

Set up two deploy configurations, where the first one references the true location of your external directories, and the second refers to those directories within the hexo folder (since the first deploy will have copied them there for you).

Note: I point the first deploy to a dummy branch called temp, but I think this could just be the same as your real deployment branch since this deployment workflow will always execute the real one last.

deploy:
  - type: git
    repo: <repo>
    branch: temp
    extend_dirs:
      - ../src
      - ../docs
  - type: git
    repo: <repo>
    branch: gh-pages
    extend_dirs:
      - src
      - docs

Thanks for submitting the issue and its details. I think this may be a bug.
