#19367 Builtin bash function restriction limits usability of shell commands Issue created by engnatha Describe the bug A custom shell script needed to invoke a third party

make

file. The

make

actions required the use of

echo

which wasn't found with the restricted set of commands available on

PATH

. When I tried to add

echo

to tools, the issue persisted. Pants version 2.16.0 OS Ubuntu 20.04 Additional info This is coming from pants/src/python/pants/backend/shell/util_rules/shell_command.py Line 101 in </pantsbuild/pants/commit/6cbdd071dae6bb2d372322bff79ce7c4a8c872e2|6cbdd07> . Since

echo

is a builtin function, the request to add it to the

PATH

is filtered out. I was able to shim around this by making a simple script like

#!/bin/bash

echo $@

and put that on

PATH

manually. pantsbuild/pants
