Thanks for reporting! We haven't implemented negated-globs yet, but this is something we will implement.

[joshstevens19]

gotcha any workaround for now so we can use bun on the repo?

[joshstevens19]

guess only way is to manually list all the packages - thanks for coming back fast anyway

Also, as the error suggests, this isn't only a problem with negation but with glob stars in the middle of a path in general.
We have a sizeable monorepo that has workspace definitions like this, and the same error is thrown.

{
  "workspaces": [
    "slices/*.lambda",
    "slices/*.stepfunction"
  ]
}

I was hoping to move to bun for package management from pnpm in our large monorepo, but unfortunately, the lack of exclusions means we can't move yet.

This is what our pnpm workspaces file looks like:

packages:     
  - "packages/**"
  - "!packages/**/lib"
  - "!packages/**/dist"
  - "!packages/**/generated"
  - "generators/**"
  - "!generators/**/lib"
  - "!generators/**/dist"
  - "!packages/cli/cli/dist/dev"
  - "!packages/cli/cli/dist/prod"

Since bun says no exclusions yet, I tried rolling the negations into the glob itself like this, but no luck:

  "workspaces": [
    "packages/**/!(dist|lib)**",
    "generators/**/!(dist|lib)**"
  ]
