Poetry does not respect the include in the pyproject.toml when the listed file is in the `.gitignore`

Issue

I am trying to include in the published package, some files that are build artifacts so are in the .gitignore. I am really struggling to get everything to work, because no matter what I do Poetry seems to accept the .gitignore over the globs listed in the pyproject.toml tool.poetry.include field. I ran it with -vvv and Poetry is straight up not including the files. However, when I remove the pattern for the files from the .gitignore it works fine. I am going to try and use a different version of Poetry but I think this is a important bug that should be fixed. Thanks!

Hello @johnwalz97,

I think your wildcard usage is wrong. Try this:

include = ["jupyterlab/labextension/**/*"]

Hey @finswimmer. Thanks for the response!

You are correct that was my issue. Well, that and a typo. Initially I had used the correct wildcard pattern but I mis-typed the directory name. Then I realized that when I removed the directory from the .gitignore it worked. So I assumed something was up with Poetry. The reason that worked though was just because the directory was inside the Python package directory so it was automatically included even if the wildcard was off…

I was doing some late-night coding and was struggling with a lot of other issues not related to Poetry. This was my first issue on GitHub so I feel pretty stupid lol. Thank you so much though for the fix!
