I am trying to make it so we can create list views in scratch orgs that will not be pulled into our source when developing. I have created a .forceignore file in the root directory.

enter image description here

My .forceignore file looks like

# Ignore List Views
avsight/main/default/objects/Product2/listViews
avsight/main/default/objects/Account/listViews

But when I create a new listView for the Product2 object and do a force:source:pull the listView is not ignored and it gets added to the source. Does anyone see anything wrong with how I am doing it or am I missing something?

This had me stumped for a while too... and with some trial and error I was able to get this working (for the scenario of ignoring all list views for Contact).

Contact.listView

The .forceignore actually has 2 sets of syntax, 1 for ignoring when pushing, and another for ignoring when pulling. This is kinda mentioned in the docs, but it's not overly obvious, and a key thing is trying to get the right case to use as it's case sensitive (and not aligned to the Type that gets listed in a status command.

  • *.listView also works, thank you.

  • Surelt *.listView works as a wildcard, and hence doesn't answer the OP's question, which was about specific listViews.

With some help from this closed GitHub issue in the forcedotcom repository, the below should also work for what you need:

  • **/Product2/listViews/**
  • **/Account/listViews/**
