<@U4NLK6MB3> just fyi regarding unused deps is useful but there could be false positives

thanks, i noticed the scala library was on the list for instance :open_mouth:

hmm, not aware of that, it generally falls into a few categories, <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/3669>

you could set it to `off` if that becomes noisy

i subscribed, i’ll see later if i can reproduce this

i guess i’d be fine with having it off, you can enable it every know and then to prune

for the record gradles unused dependency thing is extremely bad

<http://www.pantsbuild.org/jvm_projects.html#target-scopes> `forced` is introduced to tolerate the false positives

in case you find signal/noise ratio is acceptable

<@U098ZNTCN>: `Zinc argument '-log-level' is not supported, and is subject to change/removal!` — do i need to prefix with `-S` or `-C`?

oh, need to set `—compile-zinc-whitelisted-args`

<@U098ZNTCN> all i get: <https://gist.github.com/cab/30b25caf3d126ab8f44530ce8b5dbc0c>

should i run a `clean-all` on CI before i build?

hmm, i think <https://github.com/sbt/zinc/pull/204> never gets actually released for pants

Stu is not in today, will ask for doing a zinc release, the PR above is probably why you don't see the error

i could set the `//:zinc` target to the latest?

`1.0.0-X7` or above should contain the fix, currently pants uses `1.0.0-X5`

<https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/4176> — will i need to get on 1.3.0-dev to pick this up?

that's the java portion, it's 3 step process, java zinc -&gt; publish -&gt; consume in python, we did just the first step last time, sorry about that

Hi all: 

<https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/4316> (not yet merged) will switch the pants repo entirely over to the new python pipeline. Let me know if you see any problems after pulling this change.  

The diff in that pull request will show you how to enable the new pipeline in your own repo, once you’re on a release that includes today’s changes. 

FYI.

<@U098ZNTCN> thanks for all your help, original issue seems to have been a corrupted `~/.zinc` dir

`rm -rf ~/.zinc ~/.ivy2 ~/.sbt` fixed things — so something was up
