Hello, wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on a pants/pex question. @broad-processor-92400 helped me along with https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/20939 and I realized that while I was testing, I would get errors from Pex for the missing dependency that I was specifically trying to exclude with the

--exclude

flag I was passing. I was pretty quick to blame pex but when I left a comment on the pex repo and based on the reply I got there,

--exclude

shouldn't throw an error when creating a pex. I suspect the new

pex_build_extra_args

may be getting passed to another pex command but I can't quite tell where that might be happening.

you can always go for the maximum detail by keeping sandboxes with the --keep-sandboxes arg. it'll keep the execution environment around, which will include the full command. It can be a bit confusing with all the files there

I'll give that a try. Thanks
