Question

is there a way to see what files are being changed when Pants says ```13 22 13 05 INFO Filesystem changed during run retrying `Test` in 500ms ``` I ve tried ` ldebug` but i m not seeing the information I want I just see a bunch of things like ```13 20 47 09 DEBUG Dependency rule pants engine internals build files evaluate preludes of Some rule pants engine internals build files parse address family tests components security changed ``` but that target demonstrably didn t change

that what I m looking for

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

Yup

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

Should be meaningful to you but if not

flat-zoo-31952 · Answer

that path is in gitignore though which should make it in pants ignore

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

Ok well it sounds like you have a crease to dig into anyhow

flat-zoo-31952 · Answer

I guess but why does pants watch nodes in paths that are gitignored

wide-midnight-78598 · Answer

I wish Slack kept more history I could swear I was in this exact thread before Something that should have been gitignored was there a setting to use gitignore Or is it default

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

That s what I mean you ll need to dig Not sure

curved-television-6568 · Answer

the default is to respect gitignore iirc

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

I d start with identifying whether the detail is noise or significant

wide-midnight-78598 · Answer

And just a sanity Do you touch `pants ignore` anywhere in configs I think last time someone set pants ignore instead of pants ignore add maybe not as there is a separate pants use gitignore

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

Maybe that s the name of the containing dir and that s the build root I d have to read some code

flat-zoo-31952 · Answer

pants ignore use gitingore is what controlls if gitignore is included you don t need pants ignore add for that

flat-zoo-31952 · Answer

I can confirm that the path is ignored for e g tailor adding a python file there ``` touch rpmbuild some python source py pants tailor rpmbuild some python source py 13 41 01 44 ERROR 1 Exception encountered Exception Unmatched glob from CLI arguments rpmbuild some python source py ```

i ll have to wait to later to drill into what the ` ` may be about

wide-midnight-78598 · Answer

this was the thread <https pantsbuild slack com archives C046T6T9U p1663933840682049>

wide-midnight-78598 · Answer

Maybe of use

flat-zoo-31952 · Answer

yeah interesting although changing to `pants ingore add` doesn t solve the issue

wide-midnight-78598 · Answer

And it s not a tempfile lock issue like in Bastian s case Some random thing with a ~ added

wide-midnight-78598 · Answer

I doubt it But shrug

flat-zoo-31952 · Answer

okay fun wrinkle adding rpmbuild to my `pants ignore add` fixes this at least until the next problem

flat-zoo-31952 · Answer

leaving that out of pants ignore add and just explicitly having pants ingore use gitignore does not lead to it being ignored

flat-zoo-31952 · Answer

looks like bug in how this ignore rules are interpreted I can try to repro in something open source when I have a minute

flat-zoo-31952 · Answer

thanks all

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

How is rpmbuild in gitignore exactly The exact ` rpmbuild ` or something more fuzzy

flat-zoo-31952 · Answer

``` grep rpmbuild gitignore rpmbuild ```

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

Nice I like exact syntax Ok well I m sure the eventual dig will be enlightening

flat-zoo-31952 · Answer

I was able to repro on Pants main so I made an issue <https github com pantsbuild pants issues 17642> It seems related to the trailing slash in gitignore patterns
