in this case it is

--glob-expansion-failure=error

i worked on that while my back was suffering and it was very fun and there are some more things we'd like to do if you're interested

also, if you type the option name incorrectly, we now offer spelling suggestions, but it's based on levenshtein edit distance not keyword matching or anything smarter

if anyone likes the target sources glob expansion errors introduced a few releases ago here's a ticket we haven't had time to justify working on internally that i would love to see happen to make the default case of

--glob-expansion-failure=warn

easier to diagnose and fix! https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/5863

we haven't been able to turn on strict matching or even warnings yet in our internal monorepo and it's slow going because the warning messages don't say which target's sources aren't getting matched -- if these messages are improved we can turn warnings back on again and ideally turn on

--global-expansion-failure=error

which would make me very happy :) in case anyone has a free afternoon this week. would love to pair over hangouts or something with anyone who wants a low-risk high-reward intro to the pants rust codebase
