Drop confusing second * from glob pattern example#18709
Merged
Conversation
Summary -- As @AlexWaygood noted on the 0.12 release blog post draft, the existing example is a bit confusing. Either `**/*.py` or just `*.py`, as I went with here, makes more sense, although the old version (`scripts/**.py`) also worked when I tested it. However, this probably shouldn't be relied upon since the [globset](https://docs.rs/globset/latest/globset/#syntax) docs say: > Using ** anywhere else is illegal where "anywhere else" comes after the listing of the three valid positions: 1. At the start of a pattern (`**/`) 2. At the end of a pattern (`/**`) 3. Or directly between two slashes (`/**/`) I think the current version is luckily treated the same as a single `*`, and the default globbing settings allow it to match subdirectories such that the new example pattern will apply to the whole `scripts` tree in a project like this: ``` . ├── README.md ├── pyproject.toml ├── scripts │ ├── matching.py │ └── sub │ └── nested.py └── src └── main.py ``` Test Plan -- Local testing of the new pattern, but the specifics of the pattern aren't as important as having a more intuitive-looking/correct example.
