in particular, this module is named

dev.py

, other names seem to work find, and i don't exclude this from any sources, so it almost seems like it's being implicitly excluded

ok, I was able to resolve it by adding

pants_ignore = []

, running pants, and then removing that line

I did have a glob ignore (e.g.

**/nested/path/dev.py

) in

.gitignore

previously, but I had removed that to no avail

can't seem to repoduce whatever conditions caused it in the first place

ok, looks like what I really needed was a line like

pants_ignore.remove = ["nested/path/dev.py"]

since it was including my .gitignore
