Is there a way to get

./pants list

to output only filenames and not the owning target name as well?

not sure if that's what you want?

❯ ./pants list helloworld:: | xargs ./pants filedeps 
helloworld/BUILD
helloworld/__init__.py
helloworld/greet/BUILD
helloworld/greet/__init__.py
helloworld/greet/greeting.py
helloworld/greet/greeting_test.py
helloworld/greet/translations.json
helloworld/main.py
helloworld/translator/BUILD
helloworld/translator/__init__.py
helloworld/translator/translator.py
helloworld/translator/translator_test.py

On https://github.com/pantsbuild/example-python

filedeps is helpful, I am just trying to avoid having do do this all the time:

./pants list .... | cut -d: -f1

I get it. We ended up writing a simple plugin with a new goal just for this 🙂

using

./pants peek | jq ...

but that’s hardly easier than piping through

cut

..

well at least JSON, perhaps a tad more readable

.. oh, I meant to use a jq query to just output the filenames..
