I created a brand new default Drupal 7 website and I added the following additional test files which match my exclude patterns and therefore be excluded from the archive dumps:
$ cd ~/Sites/example.com/public_html
Here is the exact alias record from ~/.drush/aliases.drushrc.php
$aliases['example.com'] = array(
'uri' => 'example.com',
'root' => '/Users/zachharkey/Sites/example.com/public_html',
'command-specific' => array (
'archive-dump' => array (
'tar-options' => '--exclude=directory1 --exclude=sites/all/modules --exclude=*.txt',
),
),
);
I added the following test files, which match the exclude rules and should be excluded from the archive:
├── directory1
│ └── test.txt
└── test.txt
1 directory, 2 files
I was originally running drush 6.2.0, so I used Homebrew to completely uninstall then reinstall drush and verified that I had been upgraded to 6.3.0.
$ brew info drush
drush: stable 6.3.0, HEAD
https://github.com/drush-ops/drush
/usr/local/Cellar/drush/6.3.0 (258 files, 2.5M) *
Built from source
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/drush.rb
==> Caveats
Bash completion has been installed to:
/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d
And a quick double check:
$ drush --version
Drush Version : 6.3.0
Here is the full status of the bootstrapped Drupal site:
$ drush status
Drupal version : 7.31
Site URI : http://default
Database driver : mysql
Database username : root
Database name : example_db
Database : Connected
Drupal bootstrap : Successful
Drupal user : Anonymous
Default theme : bartik
Administration theme : seven
PHP executable : /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/bin/php
PHP configuration : /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/conf/php.ini /Users/zachharkey/.dotfiles/.drush/drush.ini
PHP OS : Darwin
Drush version : 6.3.0
Drush configuration :
Drush alias files : /Users/zachharkey/.drush/aliases.drushrc.php
Drupal root : /Users/zachharkey/Sites/example.com/public_html
Site path : sites/default
File directory path : sites/default/files
Temporary file directory path : /Applications/MAMP/tmp/php
Just to be extra sure, I printed out the full site-alias for the currently bootstrapped site to make sure it was using the same configs from my site alias in ~/.drush/aliases.drushrc.php:
$ drush site-alias @self --full --with-optional
$aliases["example.com"] = array (
'root' => '/Users/zachharkey/Sites/example.com/public_html',
'uri' => 'example.com',
'#name' => 'example.com',
'path-aliases' =>
array (
'%drush' => '/usr/local/Cellar/drush/HEAD/libexec',
'%site' => 'sites/example.com/',
),
'command-specific' =>
array (
'archive-dump' =>
array (
'tar-options' => '--exclude=directory1 --exclude=sites/all/modules --exclude=*.txt',
),
),
'#file' => '/Users/zachharkey/.drush/aliases.drushrc.php',
);
I ran the archive-dump command with all the --tar-options specified inline as arguments:
$ drush archive-dump --tar-options='--exclude=directory1 --exclude=sites/all/modules --exclude=*.txt"
Success The test files are properly excluded from the archive. (So are all the other .txt files)
$ drush archive-dump -v --tar-options="--exclude=directory1 --exclude=sites/all/modules --exclude=*.txt"
