Hi guys, I’m trying to follow up the docs to setup wheels path (find_links) with relative path and getting errors when trying different combinations. This is in my pants.toml:

[python-repos]
# Absolute path works
# find_links = ["file:///Users/me/workspaces/the_project/3rdparty/python/wheels"]

# Not working either
# find_links = ["file:///%(buildroot)/3rdparty/python/wheels"]
# find_links = ["%(buildroot)/3rdparty/python/wheels"]
find_links = ["file://%(buildroot)/3rdparty/python/wheels"]
path_mappings = ["WHEELS_DIR|%(buildroot)/3rdparty/python/wheels"]

Errors: Using

file://

non-local file URIs are not supported on this platform: 'file://%(buildroot)/3rdparty/python/wheels'

Using

file:///

or skipping the file

file:///

altogether

Mapped paths must be absolute. Given: %(buildroot)/3rdparty/python/wheels

I’m using lock files. The executed command is

pants generate-lockfiles

. Thanks for any help

Hey Martin I think you’re missing an

s

after

%(buildroot)

. I have this working on my project:

[python-repos]
find_links = [ "%(buildroot)s/python_wheels" ]
path_mappings = [ "WHEELS_DIR|%(buildroot)s/python_wheels" ]

Hi Anler, thanks this solved the issue. I had the

s

in some iteration, but it somehow got away 🤦

yeah same happened to me at some point and was a headache!

Yeah, you definitely saved me hours and headaches as well 🙏
