Failed to build regex patterns for excluded paths

when i start tach sync or tach check for example it gives me this back:

Failed to build regex patterns for excluded paths

I have selected some folder instead of a python file. Maybe you can give some advice within a new error text as that above

Python 3.11 win11
Sorry the previous post was wrong. It is not showing any border when i run tach sync it fails like before and the yaml file looks like this

yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gauge-sh/tach/v0.9.3/public/tach-yml-schema.json

modules:

• path: main
  depends_on: []
  exclude:
• .*pycache
• .*egg-info
• docs
• tests
• venv
  source_roots:
• .

So I think something weird is happening

Hi @Bongomannn , thanks for raising the issue.

Could you try copying the exact contents of your tach.yml file here again, but put it in a code block with ``` so that there isn't any auto-formatting?

The error you're getting likely means that one of the entries in exclude is not a valid regex pattern, but it's hard to tell what the exact content is. Also, could you tell me what IDE or program are you using to edit your files?

@Bongomannn Make sure to use regex patterns, not glob patterns, when excluding paths. This has confused other users as well. Refer to the documentation for exclude at https://docs.gauge.sh/usage/configuration#tach-yml.
