Running into an issue with pants in CI. Anyone seen this?

Engine traceback:
  in Update all BUILD files
  in Finding the `bash` binary
  in Scheduling: Searching for `bash` on PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin

Exception: Failed to execute: Process {
    argv: [
        "./find_binary.sh",
        "bash",
    ],
    env: {
        "PATH": "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin",
    },
...
    description: "Searching for `bash` on PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin",
    ...
}

Error launching process: Os { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Permission denied" }

Does bash exist on one of those paths? Does the user this is running under have execute permissions on it?

Confirmed it's at normal locations. Nothing should be stopping it from executing bash, but I can confirm with a prior step that it's available.

yes, built in.

just to follow up on this as we ran into the same problem. Most CI systems have the /tmp filesystem mounted

noexec

. The current scripts appear to write their contents to this location, then try to execute it. In order to get around this we needed to set the

local_execution_root_dir

to a place on the filesystem where it was mounted

exec

.

Good tip! Would you be able to submit a PR adding this as a tip in https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/using-pants-in-ci ?
