How do you use filesets inside a revset (for files() and diff_contains())

[anka-213]

I've been trying to figure out what the syntax is for e.g. using a glob or a negative fileset inside files() and diff_contains(), but regardless of what I try, I either get a syntax error or no results.

For example: jj log -r 'files("~glob:*.js")' gives 0 results, while jj log -r 'files(~glob:"*.js")' gives a syntax error. What is the correct syntax?

files(~glob:"*.js") should work. What does the error say?

It did actually work. It seems like it was something different I tried. It did however not do any filtering. To get the desired result I needed files(~glob:"**/*.js"), otherwise it only filtered js files in the root directory.
