Playground link

Steps to reproduce:

1. Clone https://github.com/preactjs/preact
2. Run npm i
3. Run npm run build
4. Run biome format .

It will try to format all generated files in dist/ folders despite them being ignored in the config.

Have you tried **/dist/** instead of **/dist?

[ematipico]

That will work, but I think it's a workaround. **/dist should be still valid I think. Looking at how they run the command, they use biome format ., so the folder will be crawled with a path like this ./dist, which I think should match the pattern, however we know there's a bug filed (it's somewhere), and we came to the conclusion that we prefer to evaluate a better glob lib.

[Conaclos]

We have #2000.

Maybe it is a regression, because I remember making a change to ignore entire folders when specified under ignore. We should try the reproduction on different versions of Biome.

[marvinhagemeister]

When I add the folders explicitly they are ignored as expected:

    "ignore": [
-     "**/dist/",
+     "hooks/dist/",
+     "debug/dist/",
+     "compat/dist/",
+     "dist/",
    ]

Seems like the leading ** are not working, or maybe I'm misunderstanding the syntax.

[Sec-ant]

While I was working on #3317, I noticed some code that might be related to this issue: https://github.com/biomejs/biome/blob/3c23f599d96a67e4a32e296c0419006b3e82a835/crates/biome_service/src/matcher/mod.rs#L104-L115

I think it was meant to be starts_with, but that will still match many false positives.

And I can't see where the root field in the Matcher is used.

[Conaclos]

We have many issues with the glob matcher library. This is something we want to improve in Biome 2.0 I started some experimentation two month ago.

[mattfysh]

one thing that could be fixed is how "foo/*/" will match both <rootDir>/foo/x and <rootDir>/nested/dir/foo/x. there's currently no way to clamp down the glob to say just the /foo at root

the only workaround i've found so far is using the parent directory name, e.g. my_repo_dir/foo/**/*

I believe I'm having this issue. https://github.com/emilte/biome-issues/tree/json-format-ignore-not-respected
