Description

- `exclude`: An array of globs specifying files that should not be part of the

It looks like an array of globs is the only description for the format of the exclude field in typst.toml.
This ambiguity cause problems.

QuadnucYard/ourchat-typ#3 is an example.
This package has the following file structure.

  • /typst.toml
  • /assets/ (to be excluded)
  • /src/
    • /src/assets/ (to be included)

The package specifies ./assets, but surprisingly, it matches both /assets/ and /src/assets/.

exclude = ["./assets"]

Analysis

The bundler trims the ./ prefix, and uses a library for .gitignore to parse the glob.
As a result, ./assets becomes assets, and matches recursively.

let exclusion = exclusion.trim_start_matches("./");

(introduced in b41d483)

Workaround

Use /assets.
