`rye build` ouput empty wheel

[gunungpw]

Thank you, for making rye "one-stop place" for Python packaging and project manager .

I have a problem with rye build The step to reproduce is like the one below:

Steps to Reproduce

• git clone https://github.com/gunungpw/namecolors.git
• cd namecolors
• rye build
• check wheel file is empty

pyroject.toml

[project]
name = "namecolors"
version = "0.1.2"
description = "Get your colors name"
authors = [{ name = "gunungpw", email = "[email protected]" }]
dependencies = ["urllib3>=2.2.1"]
readme = "README.md"
requires-python = ">= 3.8"
classifiers = [
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.8",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.9",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.10",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.11",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.12",
]

[build-system]
requires = ["hatchling"]
build-backend = "hatchling.build"

[tool.rye]
managed = true
dev-dependencies = []

[tool.hatch.metadata]
allow-direct-references = true

[tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel]
packages = ["src/namecolors"]
exclude = ["src/namecolors/data/*.json"]

[tool.hatch.build.targets.sdist]
packages = ["src/namecolors"]
exclude = ["src/namecolors/data/*.json"]

Expected Result

wheel file not empty

from experiment when use: rye build --wheel -c the wheel file is normal and include the source code

but when use only: rye build the wheel file is empty

Actual Result

sdist output

❯ eza -T -s type

Is there anything I miss in pyproject.toml, but why the rye build and rye build --wheel -c give different output additional info:

• windows 11
• uv is enable

[mitsuhiko]

I wonder if this is an issue with rye or how hatch is set up. Does the problem also appear if you use build manually on that project?

[gunungpw]

for now, my solution is to use separately:

• rye build --wheel
• rye build --sdist

So the wheel is not empty,

[sdiebolt]

I just encountered the same problem. I think this is due to the fact that the wheel is built from the sdist archive. Since you defined

[tool.hatch.build.targets.sdist]
packages = ["src/namecolors"]
exclude = ["src/namecolors/data/*.json"]

The namecolors package gets mapped at the root of the archive. Then the wheel is build from this archive, looking for a package in src/namecolors as specified in pyproject.toml:

[tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel]
packages = ["src/namecolors"]
exclude = ["src/namecolors/data/*.json"]

But this package does not exist since it got mapped to namecolors/ in the sdist, not src/namecolors...

The solution is to remove the packages field from the sdist configuration, keeping only the exclude. Then the sdist will contain the whole source tree and the wheel will get correctly built!
