#21744 system_binary \"test binary\" caches failures across pantsd invocations Issue created by trhodeos Describe the bug \nWe use julia via juliaup (similar to pyenv, but for Julia). We have the following

system_binary

declaration:\n\n```\nsystem_binary(\n name=\"julia\",\n binary_name=\"julia\",\n fingerprint=r\".*1.10.*\",\n fingerprint_args=[\"-v\"],\n)\n\n```\n\nCaching this makes sense for \"static\" binaries. However,

juliaup

installs a shim

julia

script which uses the

default

juliaup julia version. Thus, the `test binary` step gets cached since the \"inputs\" (aka the shim script) havent changed.\n\n*Pants version* \n2.23.0\n\n*OS* \nMacOS (but most likely happens on both)\n\n*Additional info* \nHere's a repro case. Note that you need juliaup installed. You should toggle between

juliaup default 1.10

and

juliaup default 1.9

to see the failure modes. pantsbuild/pants
