Another question: does anyone know how to force-invalidate a

shell_command

rule? i.e. always run it, don't cache it. We have.... reasons. I tried e.g.

extra_env_vars=["TIME=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)"],

and such, but it's not re-evaluating

Pants doesn’t evaluate

$(…)

process substitution in strings like that, but you can use the “bootstrap” file to have it set from outside, e.g. https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/discussions/20368#discussioncomment-8752863

oo neat, perfect!
