#18743 testing vcs_version target New discussion created by AliGouta I am new to pants, and this is something we want to adopt within our organization. I was testing different features and was not able to run :

pants export-codegen src/foo:version

as mentionned in the doc: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/generating-version-tags I tried it on a simple project with pants 2.15.0 and also tried to run :

./pants export-codegen src:vcs_version

on this example: https://github.com/benjyw/black/tree/pantsify3 Each time I get the same error. Example of the error :

Use --keep-sandboxes=on_failure to preserve the process chroot for inspection.

The foolowing commande works fine:

/Users/aligouta/.pyenv/versions/3.8.5/bin/python3.8 -m setuptools_scm

Am i missing something ? Thanks ! pantsbuild/pants
