Is there a way to detect that this is running with pants? So I can flag in resource loading logic conditionally. Specifically python logic.

When we were migrating to pants, we handled potentially-similar situations (e.g. the way we initialised a database within tests was slightly different when running within pants vs. the old style of running with poetry) by doing both: first try the pants way, and if it fails (in the expected way), try the old way. Alternatively, you might be able to set a

RUNNING_WITHIN_PANTS=1

variable within https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-subprocess-environment. I'm just guessing at what you're doing, though. What type of logic are you having to conditiionalise? Deciding when to use

importlib.resources....

?

Essentially yes.

yeah, all options can be set via env vars, via CLI options and via pants.toml. For the pages like the one linked above "Config section" says the heading (

[subprocess-environment]

in this case), and the bold heading for each option says the config key (

env_vars

). So, for that one, it'd be something like:

[subprocess-environment]
env_vars = ["RUNNING_WITHIN_PANTS=1"]

Ah - not _ 😃
