Having difficulty creating my globs

[LimesKey]

Sorry, not a bug report, I just couldn't find another place to post this.

I'm hoping to issue 3 labels to pull requests for my repo, one for 'Submission', 'Dev' and 'Invalid'. Having a little trouble understanding how to create globs, I've asked ChatGPT several times but I seem to be getting back code with syntax errors and nothing like what's in the README.

Submission

The Submission label should be applied if there are changes to the /projects directory but NOT if there are changes in other top-level directories and or in their subfolders, other than /projects of course.

Dev

This should almost be the reverse of 'Submission', which should apply when there are changes to any root directories and their subfolders but NOT when there are changes to the folder or any subfolders in the /projects directory.

Invalid

This should apply if there are changes in /projects AND in any other top-level directories (other than /projects) and their subdirectories.

Here's my current labeler.yml

Invalid:
- all:
  - changed-files:
    - any-glob-to-any-file: '*'
    - all-globs-to-any-file: 'projects/**'

# Add 'Submission' label to any changes within '/projects' folder or any subfolders
Submission:
- changed-files:
  - any-glob-to-any-file: 'projects/**'

Dev:
- all:
  - changed-files:
    - any-glob-to-any-file: '*'
    - all-globs-to-any-file: '!projects/**'

Currently, when there are changed files in the top level directory and in the /projects folder the Dev and Invalid label apply when the Invalid label should only be applied. The Dev and Invalid label should never be applied at the same time.

Hello @LimesKey
Thank you for creating this issue. We will investigate it and get back to you as soon as we have some feedback.

I m also facing this issue, Looks the the exclusion is not working as expected.

Label:
  - changed-files:
      - any-glob-to-any-file: libs/a1/**
      - any-glob-to-any-file: libs/a2/**
      - all-globs-to-all-files: '!libs/a1/**/*XX*'
      - all-globs-to-all-files: '!libs/a2/**/*XX*'

In this case the label should not be added if the changed file is present in libs/a1 or libs/a2 and the file name contains XX keyword.

But the label is being added for any change.

@sameershelar-paypay, you're missing the top-level - all:. If you skip it, it defaults to - any:.

I am having similar issues with the exclusion not working.

Here's my current labeler.yml

Shouldn't one use all-globs-to-ALL-files as suggested in the example section of the README.md?

@HarithaVattikuti Is there any update on this? I've used the exclusion as demonstrated in the example section but it does not work.

Hi @LimesKey , We did work on your request from the provided details we would suggest to pass a comma seperated list of globs for Dev and Invalid invdividually to achieve desired result. Dev and Submission label wont come together as they are reverse of each other, but same cannot be said for Dev and Invalid because the conditions mentioned for the Invalid covers all the cases for Dev label which basically makes Dev a subset of Invalid.
You can refer to the following url in the README for more information.

Thanks. Could you provide an example of a working list?

As I see it, the syntax used by @LimesKey is like suggested in the README, except that he uses all-globs-to-ANY-files. In the README it says:

# Add 'source' label to any change to src files within the source dir EXCEPT for the docs sub-folder
source:
- all:
  - changed-files:
    - any-glob-to-any-file: 'src/**/*'
    - all-globs-to-all-files: '!src/docs/*'
