Is there a formatter for

BUILD

files? I can't find one in the docs 😕

There are several answers and they are all "yes" 😛 Pants 2.13 and back, you would use

./pants update-build-files

Pants 2.14 maintains that goal, but moved

black

and

yapf

formatters to also work under

fmt

through ``pants.backend.build_files.fmt.<name>` . We also added

buildifier

as well Pants 2.15 maintains that, but (hopefully) will deprecate

update-build-files

as we'll introduce a

fix

goal to shore up the non-formatting changes in

update-build-files

Thanks for the detailed answer 👍

./pants update-build-files

it is for me now then! But good to know it will change soon 💯

This answer deserves to be more prominent in the docs. It's a really good question.
