#17759 Visibility: cannot match `python_requirements` specified at the root level Issue created by jake-sigtech Describe the bug Using the new visibility feature

__dependencies_rules__

I cannot target a requirements file at the root project level. Example:

//:requirements#numpy

A workaround for now is to use a glob:

//**/:requirements#numpy

. I think the issue is related to this line here. I'm not sure it should remove the

//

prefix. I think the intention is to remove

./././

and

/././.

prefixes. Pants version 2.16.0.dev1 OS MacOS. Additional info My repo layout is:

core/BUILD
pants
pants.toml
<http://requirements.in|requirements.in>
BUILD

In `BUILD`:

python_requirements

are specified as

python_requirements(name="requirements", source="<http://requirements.in|requirements.in>")

In `core/BUILD`: Visibility is defined as: This doesn't work:

__dependencies_rules__(
      (
        "*",
        "/**",
        "//:requirements#numpy",
        "!*"
      ),
)

This does work:

__dependencies_rules__(
      (
        "*",
        "/**",
        "//**/:requirements#numpy",
        "!*"
      ),
)
