documentation suggestion

[dadaphl]

gulp.src('*/.svg', {cwd: 'assets'})

is misleading for a gulp beginner. I thought the cwd:'assets' part is some kind of configuration option. It took me a while to figure out, that that was the reason my images weren't found.
Also the, there is no output from gulp that indicates what it is doing. Hard locate mistakes.

Hey @dadaphl,

thanks for reporting this. Although I understand your concerns — especially because I'm a Gulp beginner myself — I don't really know how to deal with it. What do you suggest?

The line

gulp.src('*/.svg', {cwd: 'assets'})

strictly isn't part of gulp-svg-sprite at all. I think it's beyond gulp-svg-sprite's scope to explain the way of globbing in gulp — that knowledge should be seen as a pre-requisite. IMO it's rather important to showcase that there is the cwd option for gulp.src(), as omitting it in the documentation would surely provoke another documentation suggestion ...

Do you think changing "assets" to "path/to/assets" and / or adding a hint to Gulp's globbing options would improve the situation?

Thanks & cheers,
Joschi

As you didn't feedback anymore, I modified the documentation as suggested and will close this issue now. Please feel free to re-open it in case of further problems.
