#21644 No such file or directory for .whl files New discussion created by allcupsnotinprivate I added a .whl file to my repository. The directory for files is in the root and is called

wheelshouse

. When generating lock files, pants identify .whl files in it successfully. But when building pex, an error is returned that the dependency file was not found. pants.toml

[python-repos]
indexes = [
    '<https://pypi-proxy.ptsecurity.com>',
]
find_links = ["file://%(buildroot)s/wheelshouse"]

output:

16:38:51.92 [ERROR] 1 Exception encountered:

Use `--keep-sandboxes=on_failure` to preserve the process chroot for inspection.

P.S. the correct location of the files is hidden under the PATH pantsbuild/pants
