Does anyone have any suggestions for resolving this error? Command:

pants tailor check ::

What I tried: Updating

pants.toml

like so (based on another thread)

build_ignore = [
   'cookiecutter/',
   '\{\{cookiecutter.project_slug\}\}',
]

[tailor]
ignore_paths = [
   'cookiecutter/',
   '\{\{cookiecutter.project_slug\}\}',
]

Error:

Engine traceback:
  in `tailor` goal

IntrinsicError: Could not parse glob exclude pattern `"cookiecutter/cloud_function/{{cookiecutter.project_slug}}/*_test.sh"`: Glob { glob: Some("cookiecutter/cloud_function/{{cookiecutter.project_slug}}/*_test.sh"), err: "nested alternate groups are not allowed"

Resolution: Problem was with the 'ignore' option 🤦🏻‍♂️- needed to use

pants_ignore

not

build_ignore

or

ignore_paths

- the following seems to work (at least to avoid throwing the glob error)

pants_ignore = [
   "cookiecutter/",
]

That thread you linked suggests this quoting: https://pantsbuild.slack.com/archives/C046T6T9U/p1643825232354329?thread_ts=1643824630.216289&cid=C046T6T9U

Thanks for the suggestion! Yeah I tried that as well but I get the below error, so I had switched to single quotes

IntrinsicError: Could not parse glob exclude pattern `"\\\\{\\\\{cookiecutter.project_slug\\\\}\\\\}"`: Glob { glob: Some("\\\\{\\\\{cookiecutter.project_slug\\\\}\\\\}"), err: "nested alternate groups are not allowed" }

You mean single backslashes?

My bad - yes single backslashes

We just ignore the template directory altogether, but I don't think I've ever personally used cookiecutter, and we never use tailor anyway, so can't really help more, sorry

Oh all good, I appreciate the help, thanks! How do you ignore the template directory? That's what I was trying to do but couldn't figure out a way. I'm not committed to cookiecutter if you have another project scaffolding tool you like as well?

Our project scaffolding strategy is "copy another app/lib that looks like it might be similar" 😄

Haha gotcha, fair enough! Ok great - thanks for sharing that with me! Very helpful to know what other folks do

We do have some cookiecutter templates for common apps, but I think maybe just a couple of teams use them.

Hey as long as it works! I'm still trying to navigate the config 😅
