Cannot exclude a folder from automatic project generation using Terragrunt

[rtizzy]

Example config:

generate_projects:
  include: "terraform/**"
  exclude: "**/secrets/**"
  terragrunt_parsing:
    parallel: true
    createProjectName: true
    createWorkspace: true
    defaultWorkflow: default

workflows:
  default:
    plan:
      steps:
        - init
        - plan
        - run: echo "Hello World"

In short I'm attempting to exclude any folder with the name secrets from the automatic project generation.

I tried the above but it does not attempt to work. Am I holding this wrong?

Hey @rtizzy thanks for flagging! Documentation is not so clear about this but the include exclude flags are only supported for terraform project generation and not yet implemented for terragrunt generation (confusing I know)

We need to implement support for this in terragrunt using these flags

Hi @rtizzy , I've started to look into this issue and I wonder if you could use terragrunt hcl files to control what projects are going to be generated?
