hey guys, quick question regarding telling pants to ignoring certain python files: we don’t want to generate BUILD files under our root not directly under our

src/

path. if someone has some

.py

files in either of these directories and runs

pants tailor

, they’ll get added automatically, which is what we want to avoid. what’s the right option to use here/what is the effective difference between these options? https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-tailor#section-ignore-paths https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-global#section-build-ignore

hi! I recommend

[tailor].ignore_paths

build_ignore

will prevent a file/directory from being-detected-as/containing a BUILD file, even if it exists and would otherwise match

sounds good, i’ll use

[tailor].ignore_paths

then 🙂
