For question

I have a structure like this:

source
└── _posts
    └── :year
        ├── :post-asset-folder
        │   ├── _outline.md
        │   ├── images
        │   │   └── **.png
        │   └── slides
        │       ├── slide01.md
        │       ├── slide02.md
        │       ├── slide03.md
        │       ├── slide04.md
        │       └── slide05.md
        └── :post.md

I can't manage to get all the .md files in the ./slides to be excluded.
I have tried various combinations of skip_render setting but no luck so far :-(

Any idea or suggestion? Thanks :-)

Or maybe to be more precise: I don't want the files matching the pattern to be Processed, I am just happy to see them copied without being processed by markdown to be rendered into html.

I think this is a bug. I tried using skip_render to stop the rendering of hello-world.md in a test blog and could provide no value in the config that resulted in it not getting rendered. The config values I tried:

hello-world.md
_posts/hello-world.md
"hello-world.md"
[hello-world.md]
["hello-world.md"]
hello-world
hello-world.*

These were tried both with dynamic serving and with generate-ing and then serving the static files.

I also tried putting skip_render: true in the front matter. Conclusion: I have no idea what skip_render expects to do. Or maybe I just don't know how to use it properly.

Interestingly, I tried renaming the post to hello-world.html to see if it would just print the raw content and it did with the exception of the _code_ elements. Apparently even html files get processed for code tags?

Another interesting thing is that when skip_render: hello-world.md is in the config file, it _is_ registered in the processor as not renderable, yet is still rendered.... as witnessed by running the following in the base directory with hello-world.md and test-1.md both posts in source/_posts:

$ node
> var Hexo = require('hexo')
undefined
> var hexo = new Hexo()
undefined
> hexo.init()
...(omitted)
> hexo.config.skip_render
'hello-world.md'
> hexo.source.processors[0].pattern.match('hello-world.md')
{ renderable: false }
> hexo.source.processors[0].pattern.match('test-1.md')
{ renderable: true }

It would appear these variables aren't being checked?

@oncletom, if you're trying to insert raw content of files into a post, I wrote a plugin called hexo-include to do just that.

Deleting db.json in the root folder solved the problem for me

[oncletom]

@wilddeer I have tried deleting db.json after updating the rules, checking them against http://www.globtester.com/ and sadly it changed nothing… The files matching the skip_render still appear in the Processed: <path-to-file> debug output :-(

[oncletom]

Well I guess it is displayed as Processed because if it considered as renderable, it is treated as a Page otherwise as an Asset.

So I guess it works but for some reasons, because I try to exclude markdown files, they are still listed in hexo.posts … :-(

[TencentIT]

you are right!
