Hi, I have a perhaps silly question. I want to play around with Pants to compare it to Bazel, but when I try to run the
scie-pants
binary it keeps dying with
Error: Failed to retrieve SCIE location from the environment.
So I guess I need to set the
SCIE
env var, but I'm not quite sure what I should set it to? 🙂 I should also mention that I've build scie-pants from source, so not sure if that plays into it?

Hmm, I don't reproduce this when I build
scie-pants
from sources. Out of curiosity, why are you building it from source? Have you tried running the pre-built binary, installed via get-pants.sh say?

@happy-kitchen-89482 mostly because I prefer to use nix to handle my packages/conf in general. It works when I download a prebuilt binary however. 🤷 But I'm a bit puzzled as to the error, I couldn't find my around it in the docs nor the source code 🙂
