When I run

pants help goals

I don't see the

publish

goal. However, when I run

pants help publish

I see the goal options. In the documentation, it says the backend for this goal is

pants.core

which should already be enabled by default right? Since I am able to see other goals in that backend like

tailor

. When I try to run

pants publish

I get this output:

14:16:51.88 [ERROR] No relevant backends activate the `publish` goal, so the goal would do nothing.

This usually means that you have not yet set the option `[GLOBAL].backend_packages` in `pants.toml`, which is how Pants knows which languages and tools to support. Run `pants help backends`.

I am using Pants version

2.21.0
