Ignore .DS_Store as an entrypoint?

[swrobel]

I've had a recurring problem for quite some time that macOS creates a .DS_Store file in my source_path (/app/javascript) and it gets picked up by shakapacker as an entrypoint by both webpack & rspack:

webpack:

ERROR in ./app/javascript/.DS_Store 1:0
Module parse failed: Unexpected character '' (1:0)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders
(Source code omitted for this binary file)

webpack 5.102.1 compiled with 1 error and 13 warnings in 1656 ms

rspack:

ERROR in ./app/javascript/.DS_Store

  help:

I've previously just deleted the .DS_Store file and moved on, but it inevitably comes back, and it's annoying deleting it over and over and over again when it feels like the right solution is to ignore it.

I've tried outputting the results of generateWebpackConfig, and you can see here where it's being picked up as an entrypoint:

{
  mode: 'development',
  output: {
    filename: 'js/[name].js',
    chunkFilename: 'js/[name].chunk.js',
    hotUpdateChunkFilename: 'js/[id].[fullhash].hot-update.js',
    path: '/Users/swrobel/Code/meta-surf-forecast/public/packs',
    publicPath: '/packs/',
    crossOriginLoading: false
  },
  entry: {
    '.DS_Store': '/Users/swrobel/Code/meta-surf-forecast/app/javascript/.DS_Store',
    application: [
      '/Users/swrobel/Code/meta-surf-forecast/app/javascript/application.js',
      '/Users/swrobel/Code/meta-surf-forecast/app/javascript/application.scss.erb'
    ]
  },
// truncated for brevity

For reference, my:

• webpack.config.js
• rspack.config.js

There's something unusual about this request. I think we don't see this more often as it's normal that .DS_store is (global)
git ignored.

.DS_Store is gitignored for me. That doesn't stop macOS from creating it in just about every folder.
