Pattern "${patterns.join(',')}" did not match any files

Error message

Pattern "${patterns.join(',')}" did not match any files

What it means

resolveBuildPaths globs the project with combined include/exclude patterns (for debug build path selection) and warns when the glob matched no files — i.e. the user-supplied pattern(s) referenced nothing on disk; an empty match list is returned.
