Hey folks! I’m stuck trying to debug an issue regenerating tool lockfiles inside the Pants repo. I’m running the following:

./pants run build-support/bin/generate_builtin_lockfiles.py -- ruff

And this is the output I get:

09:41:50.96 [INFO] Initialization options changed: reinitializing scheduler...

This seems to happen whether I enable the local cache or not, and I see that the error comes from here: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/main/build-support/bin/generate_builtin_lockfiles.py#L269-L285 It looks like Pants is being invoked via subprocess inside the existing

pants run

process - I tried passing through

--no-local-cache

to this nested Pants process but that doesn’t seem to help either. Is there a better way to debug why this venv isn’t being created locally?
