option not to copy files

[hydrargyrum]

Current Situation

I have this config

[[tool.hatch.build.hooks.build-scripts.scripts]]
artifacts = ["pjy.1"]
commands = [
    "asciidoctor -b manpage pjy.adoc",
]

So I'm building pjy.1 file into the repo root dir. Then for some reason hatch-build-scripts tries to copy the built file $/pjy.1 into out dir $/pjy.1, which obviously fails:

  File "/tmp/1000/build-env-pvakc__9/lib/python3.13/site-packages/hatch_build_scripts/plugin.py", line 60, in initialize
    shutil.copyfile(src_file, out_file)
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3.13/shutil.py", line 240, in copyfile
    raise SameFileError("{!r} and {!r} are the same file".format(src, dst))
shutil.SameFileError: PosixPath('/tmp/1000/release-pjy.fbWHAl/pjy.1') and PosixPath('/tmp/1000/release-pjy.fbWHAl/pjy.1') are the same file

ERROR Backend subprocess exited when trying to invoke build_sdist

Proposed Actions

Either

• don't call copyfile if the source is the same as the destination
• or propose an option not to copy artifacts

Running into this same issue, for example:

[[tool.hatch.build.hooks.build-scripts.scripts]]
out_dir = "src/sshai"
work_dir = "src/sshai/compiled"
commands = [
    "CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -tags netgo -o agi_sshd agi_sshd.go",
]
artifacts = [
    "agi_sshd",
]

$ python -m tarfile -l dist/sshai-0.0.1.tar.gz | grep agi_sshd
sshai-0.0.1/src/sshai/agi_sshd 
sshai-0.0.1/src/sshai/compiled/agi_sshd 
sshai-0.0.1/src/sshai/compiled/agi_sshd.go 

Obviously we don't want both compiled artifacts in the dist.

Setting out_dir to the same as work_dir produces the same shutil error above.

The workaround I have is to put stuff in another directory and exclude the artifact that ends up there from the dist

[tool.hatch.build]
exclude = [
    "src/sshd/agi_sshd",
]
