fix: match slash-less globs like foo* by basename (#901) - #902
gustav-fff wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Slash-less glob tokens without a leading * were matched against the full relative path, so foo* only hit root-level files. Prefix them with **/ before compiling. Closes #901

recognize backslashes as path separators only for the Windows globset backend,
excluding the zlob feature. Add coverage verifying that a Windows pattern such

globset 0.4.18 GlobBuilder backslash_escape default Windows backslash path separator official docs source
💡 Result:
In **globset 0.4.18**, `GlobBuilder::backslash_escape` is **disabled by default on Windows**. The docs say it defaults off on platforms where `\` is a path separator, and enabling it makes `\` an escape character rather than a path separator. ([docs.rs](https://docs.rs/globset/0.4.18/globset/struct.GlobBuilder.html))
So on Windows, leave it disabled if you want backslashes treated as path separators; enable it explicitly if you want backslash escaping in glob patterns.

💡 Result:
In **globset 0.4.18**, `GlobBuilder::backslash_escape` is **disabled by default on Windows**, because `\` is a path separator there. On platforms where backslash isn’t a path separator, it’s enabled by default. You can explicitly override this with `.backslash_escape(true)` or `.backslash_escape(false)`.

globset 0.4.18 Glob::new implementation GlobBuilder default options official docs
💡 Result:
In **globset 0.4.18**, `Glob::new` is documented as building a pattern with default options; its signature is `pub fn new(glob: &str) -> Result<Glob, Error>`. ([docs.rs](https://docs.rs/globset/0.4.18/globset/struct.Glob.html))
The documented `GlobBuilder` defaults are:
- Case-insensitive matching: **off**
- `literal_separator`: **off** — `*` and `?` can match `/`
- `empty_alternates`: **off**
- `allow_unclosed_class`: **off**
- `backslash_escape`: **platform-dependent** — on where `\` is not a path separator, off where it is. ([docs.rs](https://docs.rs/globset/0.4.18/globset/struct.GlobBuilder.html))
`GlobBuilder::new` creates the builder; parsing/building occurs with `.build()`. The docs establish these public semantics, but don’t show the internal body of `Glob::new`. ([docs.rs](https://docs.rs/globset/0.4.18/globset/struct.GlobBuilder.html))

Keep Windows path globs anchored.
On Windows, globset::Glob::new treats \ as a path separator, not an escape. The /-only check prefixes src\*.rs with **/, so it can match both src/file.rs and nested/src/file.rs. Keep this check specific to the Windows globset backend, and test both paths.

Closes #901
Root cause
Constraint::Globpatterns are matched against the full relative path (crates/fff-core/src/index/constraints.rsprecompute_masks/compile_globs). zlob*crosses/, so*foo*is effectively unanchored, butfoo*must match from the path root and only hits root-level files. On/nix/store, where every path starts with a hash dir,libc.so*matches nothing.Fix
New
unanchor_globturns slash-less patterns that don't start with*into**/patternbefore compile/match. Patterns with/, a leading*, or{stay as they are.{is excluded so{src,lib}dir alternatives in grep mode keep working. This also changes the publicFilePicker::glob()API, because it goes throughapply_constraints. @dmtrKovalenko, check that this is fine for C/Pythonglobcallers.Steps to reproduce
