How to change the order of rsync in symfony deployment task - deployment

Question

I want to deploy a part of my symfony application, say, it's like a module.
I want to exclude all files first, and then include only the files of
my new module.
For deployment I use the following symfony task
php symfony project:deploy production -t
The parameter -t prints all files to the output that are included in this dry run of rsync.
Content of config/rsync_exclude.txt is only *, since I like to exclude everthing:
*
In config/rsync_include.txt I list all the files and folders for the inclusion:
config/
config/mysupermodule.yml
lib/model/doctrine/
lib/model/doctrine/MySuperclass.php
lib/model/doctrine/MySuperclassTable.php
lib/
lib/MySuperLibrary/
lib/MySuperLibrary/*
The symfony task builds the following rsync command:
rsync --dry-run -azC --force --delete --progress --exclude-from=config/rsync_exclude.txt --include-from=config/rsync_include.txt -e "ssh -p22" ./ user#www.server.com:/test_deployment/
Problem 1: The the task doesn't sync any files.
Solution to 1: Change order: Include first, then exclude.
I figured out, that if I change my need to this one:
I want to include all files of my new module and exclude then all
other.
This means using the following command:
rsync --dry-run -azC --force --delete --progress --include-from=config/rsync_include.txt --exclude-from=config/rsync_exclude.txt -e "ssh -p22" ./ user#www.server.com:/test_deployment/
The rsync works.
Problem 2: How can I change the order of the rsync when using the symfony task?
The symfony task first excludes than includes.
Solution 2: ?

Answer 1

It is NOT possible.
But you can edit the deployment task in lib/task/project/sfProjectDeployTask.class.php.
Replace this (line 145 to 154 in SF 1.4):
if (file_exists($options['rsync-dir'].'/rsync_exclude.txt'))
{
$parameters .= sprintf(' --exclude-from=%s/rsync_exclude.txt', $options['rsync-dir']);
}
if (file_exists($options['rsync-dir'].'/rsync_include.txt'))
{
$parameters .= sprintf(' --include-from=%s/rsync_include.txt', $options['rsync-dir']);
}
with this:
if (file_exists($options['rsync-dir'].'/rsync_include.txt'))
{
$parameters .= sprintf(' --include-from=%s/rsync_include.txt', $options['rsync-dir']);
}
if (file_exists($options['rsync-dir'].'/rsync_exclude.txt'))
{
$parameters .= sprintf(' --exclude-from=%s/rsync_exclude.txt', $options['rsync-dir']);
}
In short: switch this two IF statements.

Let's change the way you want to do.
You should use only the exclude file. Exclude only directories that changed but you don't want to sync.
Because anyway if you modules/, app/, ... directories haven't change, you don't have to put them in the exclude file because they will remain the same on both server.
