Running pants dependencies command twice, gives different warnings. Anyone know why that would be?

Do the file(s) exist? If so, check if the file(s) are in your `.gitignore` or the global `pants_ignore` option, which may result in Pants not being able to see the file(s) even though they exist on disk. Refer to <https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.16/docs/troubleshooting#pants-cannot-find-a-file-in-your-project>.
16:15:41.52 [WARN] Pants cannot infer owners for the following imports in the target mlcore/training/gpu_utils.py:

If you do not expect an import to be inferrable, add `# pants: no-infer-dep` to the import line. Otherwise, see <https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.16/docs/troubleshooting#import-errors-and-missing-dependencies> for common problems.

Pants utilizes caching heavily, so the second time it doesn't do any of the work since no files have changed. If you

pkill pantsd

in-between you should see it print twice.

👍 ok thanks. Any other way to turn that caching off?

I think this cache can only be disabled by disabling the pants daemon with

--no-pantsd

. That's called the "rule cache", which is the high-level execution. There's also

--no-local-cache

which is on-disk caches from other processes.

great, thanks! 👍
