Using the

pants_ignore

directive in

pants.toml

combined with the vcs_version and pylint target causes a infinite loop when running the

lint

goal. Looks like pylint triggers a filesystem change and pants rerun. I’ll make a cutdown minimal example repo and submit a github issue.

Do you use

pants_ignore = ...

or

pants_ignore.add = ...

? If the first one, you may've overwritten the default (see https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-global#pants_ignore), and thus pants may be looking for changes in

.

directories like

.git

?

!

No worries, we had done the same thing

it’s weird that this didn’t cause problems for us until we had codegen. I guess that makes sense actually
