What I'm trying to do and why

I want to verify that I have set up my patterns file correctly. I want to verify exclusion/inclusion patterns as they relate to my root backup directories.

Steps to reproduce (if a bug)

1. Create a patterns file and fill it with the contents of patterns.lst below.
2. Use the specified config.yaml below.
3. Run borgmatic -c config.yaml create -v -1 --dry-run --list --log-file dryrun.txt --log-file-verbosity 2

patterns.lst:

# Patterns file is included before the Exclusions file
# Inclusions (+) are first so they override exclusions (-)

R /etc

- /etc/*

config.yaml:

location:
  patterns_from:
    - /path/to/patterns.lst
  repositories:
    - ssh://user@myrepo.domain.com/./repo
  remote_path: /usr/local/bin/borg
  exclude_caches: true
  exclude_if_present:
    - .nobackup

retention:
  keep_daily: 3
  keep_weekly: 4
  keep_monthly: 12
  keep_yearly: 2

consistency:
  checks:
    - repository
    - archives

storage:
  encryption_passphrase: "thepassphrase"
  ssh_command: ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -F /home/robert/.ssh/config
  relocated_repo_access_is_ok: true
  umask: 0002
  compression: zstd

Actual behavior (if a bug)

Observe that the dryrun.txt file does not contain a list of excluded paths, which should appear in the format: x /etc/crontab (with an x in front).

My assertion on the format of the list output is based on this comment.

Expected behavior (if a bug)

The output of borgmatic create --dry-run --list should contain paths starting with x if they were excluded by patterns.

Environment

borgmatic version: 1.7.2

borgmatic installation method: pip install borgmatic

Borg version: 1.2.2

Python version: 3.8.6 (using pyenv)

operating system and version: Ubuntu 20.04

Thanks for filing this. I think there are at least two things going on here:

1. borgmatic explicitly asks Borg to filter down the displayed files list so as to omit excluded files (among other file types). It would be an easy fix to change that so it no longer omits excluded files.
2. Borg has a bug in which using patterns along with command-line paths causes the patterns to be ignored. It looks like borgmatic is hitting this Borg bug here because, even though you don't have any explicit source_directories, borgmatic passes its own ~/.borgmatic source directory to Borg. A variant of this unfortunate interaction was fixed previously (#574), but it sounds like you've discovered another! So this will need more investigation—and probably another work-around for the Borg bug.

Both of these issues are now fixed in master and should be part of the next release. For the second issue, I ended up using a fix very similar to the one in #574 (put source directories into patterns to work around the Borg bug). I've confirmed that excluded files now show up correctly in the file list.
