Cool will give it a shot again then

Now that I have a thing that will at least work for my yak stack in the short term I can breathe a bit

rough-notebook-80238

Thanks!

Oh -- one more thing, although it seems like the answer is no

rough-notebook-80238

11/22/2016, 9:13 PM

there isn't a way to tell pex to default to passing some arguments to a

--script

--entry-point

is there?

rough-notebook-80238

11/22/2016, 9:13 PM

E.g. I'd want to do

pex -c twistd twisted --with-arguments -- -n web

say, for a web server

rough-minister-58256

11/22/2016, 9:14 PM

no, no way to pre-pass args - we usually just encode that sort of thing in code in the entrypoint def itself

rough-notebook-80238

11/22/2016, 9:15 PM

nods

rough-notebook-80238

11/22/2016, 9:15 PM

I just don't control the entry point

@full-kilobyte-93429 - name hashing is confirmed to break one of our most crufty pieces of infra, from 2012.

limited-country-20626

11/22/2016, 9:16 PM

possible I can fix. Possible that it is a blocker. Digging

rough-minister-58256

11/22/2016, 9:16 PM

@rough-notebook-80238 in the case of twistd, I’d probably just lift out the relevant invocation from https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/trunk/src/twisted/scripts/twistd.py into a custom main.py etc

rough-minister-58256

11/22/2016, 9:17 PM

we do this in lots of cases

rough-notebook-80238

11/22/2016, 9:20 PM

nods

rough-notebook-80238

11/22/2016, 9:20 PM

K, figured that'd be a solution, just install some custom entry point with my app that wraps twistd -- just trying to figure out a way to do that without confusing people

rough-notebook-80238

11/22/2016, 9:20 PM

Fair enough, thanks again

rough-minister-58256

11/22/2016, 9:22 PM

we tend to wrap lots of stuff like that under a sub-command-style arg model, so within a single pex you can do

./the.pex celery —celery-args

./the.pex http —http-server-args

etc

rough-notebook-80238

11/22/2016, 9:23 PM

that makes sense -- maybe what I actually want is a custom wrapper specifically for pex I guess

rough-notebook-80238

11/22/2016, 9:23 PM

The part I don't want to confuse people with is creating a new facade layer

rough-notebook-80238

11/22/2016, 9:23 PM

(i.e. I want people to think "twistd is how you start this app" not "there's a layer on top")

full-kilobyte-93429

11/22/2016, 9:23 PM

@limited-country-20626 ah, keep me updated then

rough-minister-58256

11/22/2016, 9:24 PM

makes sense

limited-country-20626

11/22/2016, 9:30 PM

will do. I have a bit of investigation left.

Is there some magic incantation to upload to bintray on the cmd line, or do we use their website?

11/22/2016, 11:08 PM

@happy-kitchen-89482 https://github.com/pantsbuild/binaries/blob/gh-pages/sync-bintray.sh may offer some reference?

happy-kitchen-89482

11/22/2016, 11:09 PM

that looks helpful, thanks!

limited-country-20626

11/22/2016, 11:40 PM

@full-kilobyte-93429 I think we can work around this internally. I had to go read up, but this now appears to just be fixable. Will update with details tomorrow

11/22/2016, 11:41 PM

great to know! thanks @limited-country-20626

I've addressed the misleading advertising of the

jar

goal in

./pants goals

output here: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/4095. I think you still would have had
