Hi guys. Quick question. We are trying to run django migrations inside of the pex binary, but the migration files end up being generated inside the sandbox, which means they go away. To get around this, we have been running with

-no-run-cleanup

to preserve the files, but it is tedious to copy the files out of the pex sandbox. Anybody dealt with this and have a good solution?

Hi, which Pants version? And what command are you running?

Have this handy because we were just looking at it: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-run-goal#execution-semantics

We are running

2.12.0

and running

./pants run --no-run-cleanup src/xxx/manage.py -- makemigrations xxx

So in Pants 2.13 doing

run path/to/manage.py

will not run in a sandbox, while

run path/to:manage_target

will run in a sandbox, but in 2.12 that field is what you need

So we just tried updating to 2.13 and it still generated inside a tmp

Oh, maybe it’s 2.14

We haven't changed the default semantics yet. There's some FUD around it. So in every version it'll always default to sandboxing

lol. ok. thanks guys
