IndexError with my .gitignore file when trying to build a Python package about python-pathspec

[cpburnz]

@haimat Thanks for reporting this. I'm uncertain if this is a bug with pathspec or hatchling. I haven't been able to reproduce this using a simple project using hatchling (see example below).

What do you have in your pyproject.toml? In particular, what are your settings for hatchling and hatch? What's the folder structure of your project?

---

Example

Files:

• .gitignore
• pyproject.toml
• issue_64/
  • __init__.py
  • issue_64.py

pyproject.toml contains:

[build-system]
requires = ["hatchling"]
build-backend = "hatchling.build"

[project]
name = "issue_64"
version = "0.0.1"

.gitignore is from https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Python.gitignore.

issue_64/__init__.py is empty.

issue_64/issue_64.py is empty.

The output from python3.8 -m build is:

* Creating venv isolated environment...
* Installing packages in isolated environment... (hatchling)
* Getting build dependencies for sdist...
* Building sdist...
* Building wheel from sdist
* Creating venv isolated environment...
* Installing packages in isolated environment... (hatchling)
* Getting build dependencies for wheel...
* Building wheel...
Successfully built issue_64-0.0.1.tar.gz and issue_64-0.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl

@haimat I have a way to debug this.

I created a new branch which will rethrow the error with some debugging information. Modify your pyproject.toml to include:

[build-system]
requires = [
	"hatchling",
	# Inject debug build of pathspec.
	"pathspec @ git+ssh://[email protected]/cpburnz/python-pathspec.git@detect-64",
]

A GitWildMatchPatternError error will be raised instead of the IndexError, and it will contain the info. When you get a chance, please try this and let me know what the resulting error is.

Ok I found the problem in my pyproject.toml file:

include = [
  "**"
]

As soon as I have removed this option, everything was fine again.

@haimat Thanks, the ** pattern is now fixed in the new release v0.10.2.
