What happened?

It refuse to read files that should be read

What did you expect to happen?

Example:

# bin
bin/*
!bin/res/*
!bin/www/*

it should ignores everything in bin/ except for res/ and www/

So if i task it to read stuff in bin/www/index.html, then it should read it

But it doesn't, tool call failed
