Asset manager doesn't publish dot files

When I do this…


$assets = dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'assets';

$this -> _assetsUrl = Yii::$app->getAssetManager()->publish($assets);

… dot files (hidden) are not published. What should I do? This didn’t happen in Yii 1.

I’ve found the solution!!! I’ll post it here in case someone needs it:


$assets = dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'assets';

$this -> _assetsUrl = Yii::$app->getAssetManager()->publish($assets, array('beforeCopy' => 

    function($from, $to)

    {

	if(strpos($from, '.directory') < 1)

	  return $from;

    }

));
