Hey, with the previous pants script I could use the PANTS_SHA environment variable to use a commit from

pantsbuild

repository. It seems that is not possible with the new

scie-pants

. Any other way to achieve that?

Heya, sorry for the trouble, we stopped publishing the artifacts required for

PANTS_SHA

to work quite a while ago, so it doesn't work on any recent commits. Hence we phased out support from

scie-pants

(deprecated in 0.10.0, removed in 0.11.0). What are you using it for? Some options are: 1. stick to the

pants

script or

scie-pants

0.9.3 and continue using

PANTS_SHA

2. use

PANTS_SOURCE

instead, pointing to a checkout of the Pants repo appropriate commit (works with newer commits too, but requires building pants)

thanks, we would probably just wait for 20.2.4

I will get RCs for those out today

🙏

Well, when CI cooperates and I can merge

following could be a nice addition to the pants-init plugin:
