running into an issue setting dependencies with 
.
in path names. created an example branch here: https://github.com/njgrisafi/pants-example/tree/dot-path-example
on the example repo you can test this by running:
Copy code
./pants dependees app/some.path.com
If you update the target to use the 
_
directory, it works as expected.

ah the issue is that it thinks this is a file target, when it's a BUILD target. Hm. Could you please promote this to a GitHub issue?
Is using 
_
acceptable, or you need to keep using 
.
for the dir name?
r
We can work around this by setting a resource target a directory up set the sources to the 
.
directories resources. So nothing blocking atm but I’d imagine 
.
directory should be supported for BUILD targets.
will file an issue

This ties in to thoughts we've had around "directory specs"
The idea is to make 
./pants goal path/to/dir
where 
dir
is a directory mean "act on all the files under that dir", instead of what it means today, which is "act on the target 
path/to/dir:dir
. In that future, all specs not containing a colon would be considered to represent files/directories, and we wouldn't need to rely on vaguer heuristics like a 
.
indicating a file.
