airflowignore negation does not work in subfolders #58636
Description
Apache Airflow version
3.1.3
If "Other Airflow 2/3 version" selected, which one?
No response
What happened?
.airflowignore negation only works for files directly in the folder but not for subfolders.
*
!dag_to_appear.py
This works as expected as this is telling airflowignore to not ignore the file from the same folder.
However:
*
!subfolder/
!subfolder/dag_to_appear.py
This does not work. This is a valid pattern for .gitignore.
Similarly, the following also does not work but should work in principle following the same pattern of .gitignore.
*
!*/
!*/subfolder/
!*/subfolder/*
What you think should happen instead?
airflowignore negations should work also in the subfolders.
How to reproduce
Experiment with airflow ignore negations to ignore all and include only certain dag files first in current folder and then from subfolders.
