07/18/2023, 9:37 AMHey, I have some weird behaviour of pants right now. I enabled and formatted BUILD files with buildifier on a different branch yesterday and if I run
pants update-build-files --checkpants help backendsb

07/18/2023, 11:43 AMThe plan, I think, is still to slowly deprecate it in favor of `fix`/

07/18/2023, 1:47 PMThe weird thing is, it worked yesterday with update-build-files to use buildifier

07/18/2023, 1:50 PMBut update-build-files is going to be deprecated?

07/18/2023, 3:01 PMoh.... I guess I already did all the heavy work. We could just deprecate (with a long tail) 😅
