Pants

if you’re hitting a failure based on that path, there’s definitely a bug

would be good to file a github issue if you can repro etc

you should be able to rely on the cache to be consistent wrt fingerprinting etc

ok cool, yeah it seems like it was failing to notice a new platform target

hm - I seem to remember fixing a bug along those lines. maybe you’re on an old pants version?

<https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/commit/d88e7595485d87071e8a1678a27b76f0fe2f3bc8>

This is probably something I screwed up, but:

&gt; Exception message: Package SourcePackage(u'<https://pypi.python.org/packages/c9/1d/bd19e691fd4cfe908c76c429fe6e4436c9e83583c4414b54f6c85471954a/wheel-0.29.0.tar.gz#md5=555a67e4507cedee23a0deb9651e452f>') is not translateable by ChainedTranslator(EggTranslator, SourceTranslator)

aha, <https://github.com/twitter/commons/issues/411>

seems like it shouldn't be using an EggTranslator on a wheel

there should be some additional output in the failure log about why it couldn’t translate

thats roughly the equivalent of doing a `python setup.py bdist_egg` in the unzipped wheel sdist dir

hmm, there's a stack trace and then the usual pants output above it. What kind of additional output should I be looking for

it looks like the default pex resolver precedence doesn't include the wheel translator?

<@U3DBYJTNK|whodat> uploaded a file: <https://pantsbuild.slack.com/files/whodat/F42M7H7T8/_jar-tool__java_io_ioexception__file_name_too_long.txt|[jar-tool] java.io.IOException: File name too long> and commented: I'm having an issue running our tests in Pants. This is only happening one machine that I just setup, but its the same make/model and OS (Ubuntu 16.10) as our others. I've tried `rm -rf .pants.d/ .cache/ ~/.cache/pants/ ~/.ivy2` and also cloning our repo again and get the same result. Has anyone else encountered this before? All of the other goals (including ones that use jar-tool) seem to work, and I get the same error if I address a single module instead of all.

how can I ask pants to use a particular java installation I have on my machine? it seems to be defaulting to one I don't want it to use
