Clearing Control Panel resources deletes gitignore

[Wiejeben]

Description

When clearing control panel resource cache, it deletes the (by default provided by craftcms/craft) /web/cpresources/.gitignore file. As a result someone could accidentally commit the contents of their cpresources directory.

Steps to reproduce

1. Having a .gitignore file inside the cpresources directory
2. CP -> Utilities -> Clear Cache -> Make sure Control Panel resources is selected -> Press Clear Caches

Additional info

• Craft version: 3.0.4
• PHP version: 7.0.30

Thanks for pointing that out! Fixed for the next release.

I'm still experiencing this @brandonkelly, on Craft CMS 3.1.14. Same repro steps as the first post ^

[brandonkelly]

@benface Strange, still working correctly on my end. Is your gitignore file named exactly .gitignore ?

[benface]

@brandonkelly This is weird. It's happening on the production server but not locally. And yes, the file is named exactly .gitignore and it has the following contents:

*
!.gitignore

The server is a cPanel VPS. All the requirements are met for running Craft (except the Max Execution Time which is set to 60 seconds instead of 120). Anything else would be useful?

[brandonkelly]

Have you set a custom resourceBasePath config setting value?

[benface]

@brandonkelly No, I haven’t.

[brandonkelly]

Huh… I’m a bit stumped then. You’re positive that the .gitignore file is deleted exactly when you are running the Clear Caches utility? Maybe worth sending in some admin & SSH credentials to [email protected] so we can try looking into it from there.

[epcliff]

I'm having the same issue.

[Wiejeben]

@epcliff which version of Craft are you running?

[brandonkelly]

Sorry, I guess this fell through the cracks. I was able to reproduce the issue after looking into it again per #7361, and it’s now fixed for the next release.

Craft 3.5.18 is out now with that fix ✨
