there’s a method `_transitive_download_remote_libs` which was rather difficult to test via unit, but setting up a few contrived remote libraries on disk and running them through an integration test made it simpler

ok - let me check that out - this is my central point of confusion - but my question-before is why not test transitive in unit

basically its awesome to not resort to IT if you don;t have to

thanks for looking at this john... much appreciated.

Yeah - not following why its hard to write, say 2 zips to disk, the 1st depending on the second, and use the unit test to verify both are fetched through 2 rounds

There are plenty of unit tests that create make_target targets that depend on each other and or make_target targets owning files that depend on each other (thrift files with includes for example)

f = self.create_file(contents); self.make_target(spec, GoRemoteLibrary, sources=[f], ...)

I was wary because it goes looking for BUILD files using source roots / spec paths / etc., and it seemed simpler to physically lay out the structure. but I’ll try to move it to a unit test

We have plenty of precedent for the latter too

BaseTest sets up self.build_root in a tmpdir

so you have a glean universe of source roots, etc

would anyone object to making the default for the `fingerprint` option for register_jvm_tool be true?

alternatively, i think we need to go around and update all of them... just noticed that scrooge isn't fingerprinted currently. cc <@U07A3D6AV>

Would we expect that the integration tests in the jvm backend task test suite would be executed in CI

./pants.pex list tests/python::   xargs ./pants.pex filter --filter-type=python_tests |  grep integration

can subsystem options be enabled on the command line?  Also is there a way to get them to show up in help-all?

<@U07A47275>: 1)  see my comment on <https://rbcommons.com/s/twitter/r/2599/> 2) `./pants help-advanced` will show them

<@U06A03HV1>: +1 to making the tool fingerprint default be True

<@U07A47275>: subsystem options can be set on the cmd line

and post my most recent change they will show up in either help or help-advanced, depending on how they were registered

but they don't (yet) show up nested in the relevant task help
