tool.hatch.build.targets.sdist.include is ignored for non-python files

[eguiraud-pf]

Hello, I am trying to convince hatch to include some C++ source files in the sdist archive. I would like to understand why using include does not work (force-include does, but it does not support globs like **/*.h, so it's not optimal).

Given the docs I would expect this to work.

I'm using all the globs I could think of but the sdist does not contain that submodule.h file:

[tool.hatch.build.targets.sdist]
include = [
  "hatch_bazel_and_pybind11/**/*.h",
  "hatch_bazel_and_pybind11/cpp/submodule",
  "hatch_bazel_and_pybind11/cpp/submodule/submodule.h",
  "src/hatch_bazel_and_pybind11/cpp/submodule",
  "src/hatch_bazel_and_pybind11/cpp/submodule",
  "src/hatch_bazel_and_pybind11/cpp/submodule/submodule.h",
]

A full reproducer is available at https://github.com/eguiraud/hatch-bazel-and-pybind11/tree/include-problem-repro .

FWIW, I think the nested folder is more suspect than non Python files. Non Python files are fine in the first subfolder, it's just missing the second folder entirely. If I remove all hatch configuration (I don't think that

[tool.hatch.build]
packages = ["src/hatch_bazel_and_pybind11"]

is correct, you need

[tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel]
packages = ["src/hatch_bazel_and_pybind11"]

instead (https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/config/build/#packages).

Another interesting observation: if I turn off vcs file selection, I get:

$ uv build --sdist
$ tar -tf dist/*.tar.gz | grep submodule
hatch_bazel_and_pybind11-0.0.5/src/hatch_bazel_and_pybind11/cpp/bazel-bin/submodule/submodule.cppmap
hatch_bazel_and_pybind11-0.0.5/src/hatch_bazel_and_pybind11/cpp/bazel-cpp/submodule/BUILD.bazel
hatch_bazel_and_pybind11-0.0.5/src/hatch_bazel_and_pybind11/cpp/bazel-cpp/submodule/submodule.h

These are showing up in the generated directories, but hatch_bazel_and_pybind11-0.0.5/src/hatch_bazel_and_pybind11/cpp/submodule is still not present.
