Hi, Ruff just got a new release (

0.0.273

and

0.0.274

) that supports writing the report to a file. I've gone through the process of making a new resolve etc. for setting a specific version for a tool and added

args.add = ["--output-file=reports/report.txt"]

under

[ruff]

in

pants.toml

. When I now run

pants lint ::

, I get :

10:05:51.51 [ERROR] Completed: Lint with ruff - ruff failed (exit code 2).
error: No such file or directory (os error 2)

However, if I remove the

reports

part of the path (

args.add = ["--output-file=reports/report.txt"]

->

args.add = ["--output-file=report.txt"]

), I get:

10:06:58.11 [INFO] Completed: Lint with ruff - ruff succeeded.
10:06:58.14 [INFO] Completed: Fix with ruff - ruff --fix made no changes.

I suspect that Pants doesn't create the

reports

folder in the sandbox and that

ruff

expects it to exist ant to only create the report file itself. Using

--keep-sandboxes=always

and

ls -l

I see that indeed there is no

reports

folder. Can I configure Pants to create the folder or to take the report file from the parents' path?

Does the ruff plugin support report files?

Yes plugins can modify the input root for a

Process

to include an empty directory

Thanks! Working on a PR, will update.
