A (quick) question, a couple of my colleagues encounter the following issue when they use the pants binary at their first time. ❯ ./pants --version Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/386162564/miniconda3/envs/brain_toy/lib/python3.8/runpy.py", line 194, in _run_module_as_main return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "/Users/386162564/miniconda3/envs/brain_toy/lib/python3.8/runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "./pants/__main__.py", line 89, in <module> File "./pants/__main__.py", line 51, in __maybe_run_venv__ File "./pants/__main__.py", line 11, in __re_exec__ FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Any idea?

What version of Pants?

2.14

That backtrace does not match: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/release_2.14.0/src/python/pants/__main__.py

We don't commit the binary in repo. We download it.

Ok, so do you export a custom

PEX_ROOT

?

Let me ask them to give a try

But, you're in a strange world here between conda, which is known not to work with Pants in some cases (M1 Mac I believe) and running from a pants.pex. Better would be to have your download code then install pants.pex as a venv with

PEX_TOOLS=1 ./pants.pex venv some/where ...

And then run

some/where/bin/pants

or

some/where/pex

instead.

Ok I will look further (a little confused atm :)) let me see if rm solves their problems for now.
