Overview
Currently when running shopify app dev or shopify app deploy errors occur when backup (or other) files exist in the extensions directory. For example:
18:12:49 │ graphiql │ GraphiQL server started on port 3457
18:12:49 │ something-amaaaazing │ Bundling theme extension something-amaaaazing...
18:12:50 │ something-amaaaazing │ Error while updating drafts: blocks directory should only contain .liquid files, snippets directory should only contain .liquid files
Motivation
The file it's referring to are Emacs backups: some-file.liquid~. Instead of succeeding but failing (i.e., nothing is deployed even though command acts as if it did —another issue for another day), the command should look to .gitignore, .npmignore, or similar.
One option it to only deploy files checked into git but this is not too developer friendly as one may not want to check in a file but just wants to test it.
