How to exclude a set of directories from checking for upgrades

[yadavan88]

Hello,
I am looking for an option to exclude certain directories from scala-steward. I could only find buildRoots which is the reverse of what I am looking for. Is it not possible to do this?

The main reason for this is that, we have quite a few scala-cli scripts done over the months that are mainly one-time operations (some migrations, some UATs etc). The scala-steward creates PRs for those ones as well, which I want to avoid.

Thanks in advance!

Currently, there is no direct support to exclude certain directories from getting updated.

You may use scala-steward:on|off comment in scala-cli scripts or sbt files which you want to exclude.

// scala-steward:off
//> using scala "3.3.0"
//> using dep "com.softwaremill.sttp.client4::core:4.0.0"
// scala-steward:on

import sttp.client4.quick.*
val body =
  quickRequest.get(uri"https://example.com/").send().body
println(body)

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  // scala-steward:off
  "com.github.pathikrit" %% "better-files" % "3.8.0",
  "com.olegpy" %% "better-monadic-for" % "0.3.1",
  // scala-steward:on
  "org.typelevel" %% "cats-effect" % "1.3.1",  // This and subsequent will get updated
  "org.typelevel" %% "cats-kernel-laws" % "1.6.1"
)

Though this is not straightforward (you need to add these comments in every scala-cli scripts).

Yes, i am already using this for some of the scripts, but there are too many such files unfortunately :(
