Pants version 2.15 OS Intel Mac Additional info Ideally,

pants check

would run

init

,

validate

, and

plan

. I'm going to open a feature request for this exact thing. It would also be super useful if you could run

terraform apply

through Pants, either using the

publish

or

experimental-deploy

goals (another issue, the difference between these two should be elaborated on as they're both from the core backend). pantsbuild/pants
