I'm finally investigating what using scie-pants over the in-repo

./pants

script means for me and for the StackStorm project. What do people normally do when transitioning projects? • Remove

./pants

and checking the

get-pants.sh

script into the repo instead • Replace

./pants

with a shim script that calls the

pants

bin on the path, downloading it if needed • Remove

./pants

and just change dev docs to explain how to install scie-pants before doing anything else with the repo • Something else?

I did option 1, updated docs, posted on slack to switch. No issues.

cool. That’s what I’m leaning towards - though I’m going to fix

~/bin

->

~/.local/bin

in my copy.

I did 1, but replaced the

./pants

script with a reminder for devs to update their workflow:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# FIXME: remove this in November 2023 or something, once we don't need the reminder any more
cat 1>&2 <<EOF
This ./pants script is no longer supported, use the pants launcher instead, like:

    pants $@
EOF
exit 1

Speaking of which, I'm gonna go remove it now. It's been long enough.

Yeah. I can't do much pestering in an open source project. It shouldn't be a big deal because the transition to pants isn't complete though.
