with the new

run_goal_use_sandbox

is there a way to make

restartable

usable too? atm it only works on

pex_binary

but thats slowing down the dev iterations massively.

It'd need to be added, but I don't see why not 🤔

@gentle-sugar-52379 what is causing the slowdown?

(Our most-run command has a 2-second overhead from end-to-end from Pants perspective (with the

main

swapped with

pass

and all imports not executed). I'd love to whittle that down)

When run in-source-tree or in-sandbox?

well, in-source-tree still uses a sandbox, so yes 🙂

maybe im doaing something wrong. if i change a source file the whole pex gets recreated. in my case this leeds to a 1min waiting phase even after the slightest change. it's possible my mind is tricking me but i think this was not the case with 2.13.0. now im running 2.14r.0rc1

Are you running

./pants run path/to:main_target

or ./pants run

path/to/main.py

?

you are absolutely right! i was doing the first thing... another layer 8 error fixed 😄

@gentle-sugar-52379 sorry for the headache. The long arc here of this change was to make things more intuitive and simple ("just run my file"), however that meant a bit of turning things on its head. The good news is once you're cozy, you can actually remove all the pex_binary targets solely for running a script (don't need to be packaged)
