Hey. I am using pants 2.19.0 and am having difficulties understanding the behavior of the

files

target. My directory structure looks as follows

path/to/service
|_ /cloud/deployment-config
|  |_ config.yaml
|_ some_module.py
|_ BUILD

My

BUILD

file has the following targets

python_sources()

pex_binary(...)

docker_image(...)

files(
  name="deployment-config",
  sources=["cloud/**/*.yaml"],
)

I have have an uncommitted change in the

config.yaml

. When executing

pants list --changed-since="$(git rev-parse HEAD)" --filter-target-type="files"

, I expected the files target to show up. However,

pants

tells me: No targets were matched in goal

list

. Can someone explain, what I am doing wrong? Or if my expectations are wrong?

I think this is because the

files

target is actually a target generator that creates multiple

file

targets. That's pretty confusing, though.
