02/13/2025, 3:55 PMHey, I'm trying to setup Pants (w/ pnpm) in a Python + NodeJS workspace but i'm getting this error when generating lockfiles:
Copy code
$ pants generate-lockfiles --resolve=nodejs-default
10:53:49.91 [ERROR] 1 Exception encountered:
Engine traceback:
in `generate-lockfiles` goal
IntrinsicError: path_metadata_request error: path for PathNamespace.SYSTEM must an absolute path. Instead, got ``some-insurance-58590
02/13/2025, 4:29 PMSolved it, my local PATH env var had an "empty" path in it, i.e.:
Copy code
export PATH=/path/one:/path/two::/path/threew

02/13/2025, 7:50 PMI think we can just silently ignore empty PATH entries. Our contract there is “we will do our best to find a binary on various candidate paths” not “we will check every single entry on your PATH”…
