Not sure if it's new thing, but a

pants --all-changed fix fmt test lint

on the pants-repo just deadlocked my whole WSL instance. Never had that happen before; though it tends to happen a lot with Bazel. Didn't find anything in the issue tracker for it so not sure how common it is. Unfortunately I didn't have any other shells open so can do no post-morteming... The bazel issue manifests as a deadlock in the kernels

d_alloc

and is almost always triggered by

go mod download

in the repo where I see it, likely some fs race condition... most likely due to the shims in WSL. All the dead processes will be in

D

state in htop or similar tools, for

uninterruptible sleep

.

(unrelated, but

fix

subsumes

fmt

, so at best it's a no-op but at worst it's an expensive no-op)

Are you sure? I had an autoflake failure with

lint

that

fmt

didn't fix.

autoflake is a `fix`er. The

fix

goal runs all `fix`ers and then all `fmt`ters

Oh; so fmt is a subset of fix? I understood you the other way around!

OK had to look it up, yeah I'm using "subsumes" correctly 😅
