Is there a way I can write a custom bootstrap script for `pa

Question

Is there a way I can write a custom bootstrap script for `pants` I use CodeArtifact for a private PyPi repository so I need `CODEARTIFACT AUTH TOKEN` to be set in the environment It d be pretty cool if I could somehow hook into the bootstrap process to check if the `CODEARTIFACT AUTH TOKEN` environment variable is set if so continue if not set it upon failure throw an error message telling the dev what to do Is this possible Thanks

The ` pants` script can always be customized for your reposiory

Oh interesting I was thinking about this as a vendored script e g don t touch it

loud-laptop-17949 · Answer

you can also use ` pants bootstrap`

loud-laptop-17949 · Answer

which gets sourced by the default ` pants` script

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

I didn t even know that learned something new slightly smiling face

loud-laptop-17949 · Answer

i can t find docs for it right now

loud-laptop-17949 · Answer

maybe its a 2 15 thing

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

The ` pants` script lives in its own repo <https github com pantsbuild setup blob gh pages pants>

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

so maybe docs are in that repo

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

although we then link people back to <https www pantsbuild org docs installation> so maybe time to add some docs to the docs site

FWIW when we switch to `scie pants`that may or may not get ported I think the current assumption is it is just for env vars similar to env

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

It s already ported

The readme means what it says re all known features The code is here The dogfood test is here + +

This is working great for me thanks for the pointer

famous-river-94971 · Answer

Btw the default recommended ` gitignore` excludes this file <https www pantsbuild org docs initial configuration> see step 4 which recommends ``` Pants workspace files pants dist pids```

famous-river-94971 · Answer

I updated it locally to use this ``` Pants workspace files pants pants bootstrap dist pids``` Should the docs be updated

loud-laptop-17949 · Answer

It depends we use it in such a way that we want it checked in contains no secrets

famous-river-94971 · Answer

Ah sure Makes sense that sometimes you wouldn t want it tracked

bitter-ability-32190 · Answer

The glob predates that file Might need updating

famous-river-94971 · Answer

I guess it depends on which one is less like a foot gun Track by default opting out if you have secrets in there or vice versa

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

Leaking secrets is always a bigger footgun than ~anything

famous-river-94971 · Answer

Sure if the intention is that the bootstrap file will usually contain secrets then it s probably safest to exclude it In my case it does not contain secrets

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

And there s a difference between footguns and handholding I trust devs to not really need handholding

famous-river-94971 · Answer

Is the handholding you re referencing knowing how to use gitignore

famous-river-94971 · Answer

In any case I don t feel strongly either way I just wanted to bring it up since I knew it s a new file and I ran into it ツ

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

Yeah I trust devs to know how to use gitignore
