On deploy I am hitting the 10k file limit, is there a way I can I test if files are being excluded?

Question

I am hitting the 10k limit. I am trying to exclude files and folders from being uploaded and but It seems like they are not being excluded. I am testing by just trying to deploy a new version to app engine.

Is there a way to test the deploy without actually deploying to app engine?

(I am using java app engine standard (not maven))

Thanks

One usual culprit here is using git, and accidentally uploading the contents .git. If you are using git, adding .git to the skip_files: section in your app.yaml (or as in exlusion an the <resource-files> section of your appengine-web.xml) should cure the problem.
