pants seems to be passing different arguments to

isort

depending on if I use

lint

or

fmt

goal. I have a number of files that are failing isort when I run

pants lint ::

(No specific errors are printed, just a list of files) Then when I run

pants fmt ::

it tells me that isort passes successfully. Any idea how to debug this?

Heya, sorry for the trouble. I’m guessing this may be https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/15069 A good debugging technique with pants is to use https://www.pantsbuild.org/2.21/docs/using-pants/troubleshooting-common-issues#debug-tip-inspect-the-sandbox-with---keep-sandboxes to look at the sandboxes and thus strip away the pants layer entirely.
