Hi all, I have an odd problem which is hopefully not the first time you've heard of it. We use flutter dart in our monorepo and it autogenerates

build

directories. We are unable to add a

BUILD

file into the same directory because the names are "the same" on a MacBook... 😞 This problem would obviously not be present on a Linux box or if we changed the mac filesystem to be case sensitive, but they both seem like sledgehammers - is there a simpler solution?

Hi! Pants will recognize

BUILD.pants

as valid too. And you can customize it here: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-global#build_patterns

That's really helpful - thank you 🙂

BUILD.anything, in fact

I know - right? and when Macs are "built on" bsd, which is case sensitive

You may also consider using the .BUILD file name. I found it to be very helpful because it comes first in the list, which makes navigating around and opening files quick. Those people who don't care about them may also consider hiding them along with other dot files. Just an idea.
