module folders in the destination choice

Duplicate of http://drupal.org/node/1993596

Could you provide me with some more info on your setup as I don't see this happening on mine (I'm running Mac Lion, Drupal 7.22). Do you see anything in the message logs (Drupal, Apache access/error logs). Thanks.

I can't seem to reproduce this.
The only reason I can see why this would be happening is because the .module file in those listed paths can not be found.
If you could replace some lines of code into module_install.api.inc (on line 66, the entire if case with this)

        directory = $dir . '/' . $file;
        drupal_set_message('test: ' .  $directory . '/' . $file . '.' . $type);
        $real_path = realpath($directory . '/' . $file . '.' . $type);
        if (!$real_path && !in_array($directory, $found) && !in_array($directory, $exceptions)) {
          $found[$directory] = $directory;
        }
        else {
          drupal_set_message('ignore: ' . $real_path . in_array($directory, $found) . in_array($directory, $exceptions) );
        } 

Maybe this woud shed some light on this one.

If these folders don't contain a .module file there is not much to resolve this if guess. IF they do contain a module file, I don't see why just these would not pass the if test.

Edit:
ok i see whats going on, the module file is not named the same as the modules folder. for example: google_analytics/googleanalytics.module. I'll cook up a fix for that.

Thanks for running the code.

Good to hear that.

You can use the hook_module_install_exceptions and hook_module_install_includes in your own module to either exclude or even include other directories. See the module_install.api.php file for examples.
