New

pants

user. I've added some new backends after installing and initializing pants. What command do I run to get pants to recognize the new backends?

You have added the backends into

pants.toml

? They will be picked up at the next Pants invocation.

Copied from the python example repo

backend_packages.add = [
  "pants.backend.build_files.fmt.black",  
  "pants.backend.python",
  "pants.backend.python.lint.docformatter",
  "pants.backend.python.lint.black",
  "pants.backend.python.lint.flake8",
  "pants.backend.python.lint.isort",
  "pants.backend.python.typecheck.mypy",
]

Then just continue to use Pants, those backends should be available for whatever goals you use.

With the

mypy

backend I was expecting to have a

typecheck

goal

It's the

check

goal

ah, that makes sense

would follow the instructions from item 3 in here probably: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/initial-configuration .. but yea,

check

cheers
