We solved this in our testing framework using a file lock with a customizable name. The name helps with the grouping and the file lock helps make it "serial". It definitely is not the ideal solution, but it works

yeah, this is an option, but would require rewriting large amounts of code 😬

For us, it's Python, so it was a simple pytest fixture.

hello! I've run into an issue with using packaging my typescript frontend in a Docker image. we're using next.js, which has hooks around file naming, and encourages you to name things with [ square brackets ]. When trying to create a files target, I'm getting the

must have 1 file, but it had 0 files

error on one of these square bracket files, but I can't seem to find a way around it. I did try adding a pants_ignore rule to pants.toml, but it did not make a difference. I could not figure out the correct way to escape the brackets, so I am using *, which you'll see in my BUILD file. My assumption is that it's the square brackets messing things up, but would appreciate any help/thoughts you might have!

Pants V2 is hermetic by default. Is the

libjava.so

linked through aid of

LD_LIBRARY_PATH

or the like? If so you'll need to tell Pants to allow that environment variable inside Pants executed subprocesses: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-subprocess-environment#advanced-options

Do those instructions work?

Hey @happy-kitchen-89482, for 2.12.0 rc2 it seems the macos arm releases are missing for all python versions. Any chance you can push those as well? 🙏

Q. How do I let Pants to install a specific package from a locally built wheels (e.g., "wheelhouse" directory) while fetching others from the PyPI? In other words, could I use something like pip's

--find-links

option? The reason is to install a custom built

grpcio

wheel on M1 Macs, because Google is distributing a x86-64 wheel file mislabeled as universal2 and this is breaking all gRPC-dependent codes in M1 Macs.

Q. When using Pants 2.13.0.dev4, running lint/check/... with

--changed-since

gives me a new error. How do I fix this? The mentioned files are intentionally pants-ignored.

probably something fixed yesterday

;;;

are you using

--changed-dependees

?

yes

If you have a chance, using

PANTS_SHA

to verify things are fixed would be great

The mentioned files are intentionally pants-ignored.

Excellent! That is precisely the edge case we fixed. Thanks for the report

Sweet, that definitely help unblock me part of the way. I piped

LD_LIBRARY_PATH

and

JAVA_HOME

into the pants command, and that ran a bit further until I had to create some symbolic links from the openjdk path that the .so files are in to the python3.6/site-packages directory. Is there a good way to get pants to look for anything java in a different place? Right now what I have fails because the symbolic links exists, but I don't think python/pants have access to all of the java files needed to run the JVM

Remind me, was there a way to tell Pants not to

tailor

a target type? Namely

pex_binary

https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-python#section-tailor-pex-binary-targets https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-tailor#section-ignore-paths

Thats a path though, no?

I want yes on the path, no on

pex_binary

(I'm using my

run

a py file directly plugin, so pex binaries are mostly moot)

option right below it

Is that regex or globbable?

I knew it existed: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-python#section-tailor-pex-binary-targets

OHHHHH You posted two links

🙈

🤣

"Give a man two fishes, he'll mistake them for one and fish another" ...or something

I'm only laughing because this is exactly a thing I've done too.

is there a way to get

Addresses

from

PathGlobs

or

DigestContents

?
