hi, is there a way to debug why a directory isn’t being included in the a

file

target? E.g. I have

files(
    name = "iai_coral_ui_docker_dev_deps",
    sources =[
       'package.json',
       'iai_common_ui/.storybook/*',
       'iai_common_ui/**',
       'iai_coral_ui/**',
       '.eslint*',
       'nx.json',
       'package-lock.json',
       'tsconfig.base.json',
       'tailwind.config.js',
    ]
)

the

iai_common_ui/.storybook/*

isn’t being included when doing

pants dependencies

I don’t think it’s being included in a

.gitignore

anywhere.

Gitignore and the top level global pants ignore option are the first places I go to look

Wheres the pants ignore?

By default pants will ignore dotfolders, so

.storybook

is ignored by pants. Adding something like

!iai_common_ui/.storybook

under the key

[GLOBAL].pants_ignore

in the

pants.toml

file should do it

thanks!

you may also find https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/options#addremove-semantics helpful as you would normally want only to extend the list of directories ignored by default, so

pants_ignore.add

would be of help; this

.add

and

.remove

special syntax only works in Pants's

.toml

config files, not in environment variables or command-line flags.
