How to forcibly include a directory?

[blink1073]

We have generated files in ipyparallel that we'd like to include in the sdist and the wheel. The entire folder (ipyparallel/labextension) is ignored by .gitignore. I tried using include and artifacts config to include files in the directory but they are not ending up in the dist files. I suspect it is because the folder has already been ignored by the time the include/artifact pattern is checked.

What I had expected to work was:

[tool.hatch.build]
artifacts = [
  "ipyparallel/labextension/**/*.*"
]

We have the same problem in jupyter/notebook#6425 as well (notebook/labextension).

Ah, I got it working with:

[tool.hatch.build.force-include]
"./ipyparallel/labextension" = "ipyparallel/labextension"

Seems like a reasonable solution if you want to close this one.

Artifacts should work, can you paste an example path?

>>> import pathspec
>>> pathspec.PathSpec.from_lines(pathspec.patterns.GitWildMatchPattern, ['ipyparallel/labextension/**/*.*']).match_file('ipyparallel/labextension/foo/bar.txt')
True

ipyparallel/labextension/package.json
ipyparallel/labextension/static/bundle.js

Aww 🙁 https://github.com/pypa/hatch/blob/hatchling-v0.24.0/backend/src/hatchling/builders/plugin/interface.py#L181-L186

I do that for performance. I'll fix and put that behind a "fast" option.

I ran into this too, and resorted to force-include. Thanks for the fix!

Excellent, thank you!
