grunt compress to include hidden subfolders

Question

I'm trying to bundle a number of python dependencies from /dist into the main zip file to deploy it to lambda. These dependencies have hidden subfolders with required files (for whatever reason).

For instance:

dist/psycopg2/.libs or dist/numpy/.libs

Grunt skips those hidden subfolders with just this in compress.dist.files

{
  cwd: 'dist/',
  src: ['**', '**/.*'],
  dest: '/',
  expand: true
}

A hidden folder in dist/.somefolder is included that way but nothing in those subfolders. How can I get grunt to compress those as well

Answer 1

Turns out this works:

{
cwd: 'dist/',
src: ['**'],
dest: '/',
dot: true,
expand: true
}
