I am currently using

pyflyte register

to bundle code for a workflow. This code includes protobufs which need to be compiled. The issue i'm facing is compiled protos are in the

.gitignore

so the

pyflyte register

command will not package them since it uses git ls-files to determine which files to include. Have other people encountered this issue, and if so how have they worked around it? From what i can tell there isn't built-in way to disable the GitIgnore from looking at fast_package / pyflyte.

Sadly there isn’t one and you want to not disable it else you may copy .git folder

yes

Maybe we can add —force-include flag?

Yeah simple smile

Thank you

looks like

pyflyte package

also calls fast_registration.fast_package. Would probably want to add the option to both

pyflyte register

and

pyflyte package

Ya uses the same code
