05/31/2017, 7:11 PMmaybe the option parser isn’t differentiating between False and unset? i’ll check source - h

06/01/2017, 8:25 AMHi! I'm working on a Target for a plugin. I added a sources field using create_sources_field. My problem is that, if I try to specify a glob for that field in my BUILD file, it errors out with: "Expected a glob, an address or a list, but was <class 'pants.engine.legacy.structs.RGlobs'>" - e

06/01/2017, 8:27 AMI'm using 1.3.0rc2, any suggestions? - e

06/01/2017, 1:51 PMI just discovered that, as long as my field is named 'sources', it works as expected. If I name it 'foobar', I get that error. - h

06/01/2017, 3:06 PMis there a way i can see if sources are verified correctly outside of the
goal? essentially runcompile
and get an exit code?./pants check-fmt - e

06/01/2017, 3:10 PMThe algorithm for this sort of thing: 1. ./pants goals (--all) -> find likely looking goal name, in this case
2. ./pants --explain fmtfmt - e

06/01/2017, 3:10 PMStep 2 is too much information, but can be useful when making sure the type of
you want will be executed, in the case of the pants repo, python, go and scala fmtsfmt - h

06/02/2017, 1:26 PMcan I ask pants to just use protoc from my environment? - b
bright-apartment-76721
06/02/2017, 1:26 PMI have the exact one I want to use in scope - b
bright-apartment-76721
06/02/2017, 1:27 PMand in general having it quietly reach out to download things like that over the internet is a bit awkward when I don't necessarily have an internet connection 🙂 - b
bright-apartment-76721
06/02/2017, 1:28 PMI guess it boils down to the same question as native-engine. I want to supply my own and not have it reach out over the internet - b
bright-apartment-76721
06/02/2017, 1:54 PMor more broadly, I don't want pants to reach out over the internet at all 🙂 - b

06/02/2017, 3:06 PMI was just browsing around https://dl.bintray.com/pantsbuild/bin/build-support/bin/ and saw stack in there 😮 - b

06/02/2017, 3:06 PMy'all support haskell? - b
bright-apartment-76721
06/02/2017, 3:07 PMoh, I guess it's old, from https://rbcommons.com/s/twitter/r/2975/ - b
bright-apartment-76721
06/02/2017, 3:09 PMin many ways, that whole bin/build-support folder feels like pants is a mini package manager - b
bright-apartment-76721
06/02/2017, 3:09 PMwhich makes me a bit uneasy - a
acceptable-kitchen-41259
06/02/2017, 3:11 PMI believe that you can supply your own bintray url to use - b
bright-apartment-76721
06/02/2017, 3:11 PMyeah I've done that - b
bright-apartment-76721
06/02/2017, 3:11 PMit's just that it doesn't seem well defined when it reaches out to it - b
bright-apartment-76721
06/02/2017, 3:11 PMso I thought I was fine with native-engine but then found protoc was missing from my custom URL - b
bright-apartment-76721
06/02/2017, 3:12 PMmy broader point is that I don't really want pants to "DWIM" and (there should be a mode where) it should just barf if the binary I'm asking it to use is missing, and it expects me to provide the path somehow - a
acceptable-kitchen-41259
06/02/2017, 3:18 PMA hack could be to pre-populate the .cache directory with the binaries that you want - b
bright-apartment-76721
06/02/2017, 3:18 PMyeah 😕 - b
bright-apartment-76721
06/02/2017, 3:18 PMI'm trying to package it sensibly for a distro though - a

06/02/2017, 3:18 PMI don't have a good solution haha
