How to work around files that match the glob, but are ignored via .gitignore without using explicit file inputs?

Hello everybody,

My use case is, I have Spring Boot app which has src/main/resources/static directory and Angular web which output to that directory. Because they are generated files, so I have to put them to .gitignore with src/main/resources/static/*. Besides, they have random name so I cannot write explicit files. I have tried this but it does not work:

tasks:
  bootJar:
    inputs:
      - glob: 'src/main/**/*'
    // or  - glob: 'src/main/resources/static/'
        cache: false
    command: 'gradle bootJar -x test -Pprod'

This is a good question. I'm not 100% sure right now. Let me do some testing.
