I'm trying to set

named_caches_dir

and

local_store_dir

in my

pants.ci.toml

. I have

PANTS_CONFIG_FILES=pants.ci.toml

set an environment variable in my CI, but when I look at

./pants help-advanced global

(again in my CI) I see

Copy code

local_store_dir
      default: /root/.cache/pants/lmdb_store
      current value: /root/.cache/pants/lmdb_store

In my

pants.ci.toml

I have

Copy code

[GLOBAL]
pantsd = true
named_caches_dir = "/codefresh/volume/.cache/pants/named_caches"
local_store_dir = "/codefresh/volume/.cache/pants/lmdb_store"

pants.toml

I have

Copy code

[GLOBAL]
pants_version = "2.14.1"

I can sanity check

Copy code

root@codefresh:/codefresh/volume/archipelago$ echo $PANTS_CONFIG_FILES
pants.ci.toml

and

ls /codefresh/volume/.cache/pants

only shows

setup

. If I run

./pants test capstan/:: --local-store-dir=/codefresh/volume/.cache/pants/lmdb_store

I see

lmdb_store

. when I

ls

. Am I doing something wrong, I'm not sure why my configuration isn't getting picked up

That looks to me like it should work

So time to debug. For example, try this in CI:

./pants --pants-config-files=pants.ci.toml help-advanced global

to see if the issue is with the env var.

edit - To add context. After running the above command I see

Copy code

--local-store-dir=<str>
  PANTS_LOCAL_STORE_DIR
  local_store_dir
      default: /root/.cache/pants/lmdb_store
      current value: /root/.cache/pants/lmdb_store
      Directory to use for the local file store, which stores the results of
      subprocesses run by Pants.

FYI I also had to run

Copy code

stty rows 50 cols 80

which I learned from https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/gcp-cli-orb/issues/36 but I guess one thing at a time

Here's a sanity check that's failing

Copy code

root@codefresh:/codefresh/volume/archipelago$ cat pants.ci.toml 
[GLOBAL]
pantsd = false

my CI is lying to me Edit - I forked a repo to play around with CI and it looks like the other repo was hardcoded in the clone step. I didn't know that was there! I was under the impression it'd clone my forked repo because that's the repo I used when creating the pipeline.

Heh I'm tempted to just delete this whole post to save face 🙃

Good news is

ls

is doing what I expect now

Copy code

drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root 57 Mar 17 23:39 .
