Working with git and empty folders

Question

My Axon.ivy Project (or at least as IAR-File) got errors, when I work with git. Git doesn't allow to commit empty folders. But these folders must exist because they are referenced as source folders in .classpath.

Accepted Answer

Axon.ivy 7.1 and later

This should be no problem anymore. All source folders are now optional in .classpath. If you have an older project, there is a project migration which makes all source folders optional.

Axon.ivy 7.0 and prior

You can modify the file .classpath in the root folder of your project manually. Modify all classpathentry of kind=src.

Before

<classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>

After

<classpathentry kind="src" path="src">
    <attributes>
       <attribute name="optional" value="true"/>
     </attributes>
</classpathentry>
