I'm working on some pants GHA stuff. The action in this PR handles restoring the pants cache files from the GHA cache. Would anyone else be interested in an action like this? Maybe it could be extended to (a) switch between GHA file cache and remote cache, and (b) make using

pants.ci.toml

optional or configurable. https://github.com/StackStorm/st2/pull/5727

Publishing a GHA that others can use would be absolutely amazing. It's not hard to make them configurable either

What if we published it under the pantsbuild org and then used it in the example-python repo?

I'm all for it

+1

Done.

Ok I wrapped up the action, and made some changes based on the workflow in the example-python workflow. You can see how to use the action on this PR. https://github.com/pantsbuild/example-python/pull/106 I ended up testing in my fork, so you can see a successful run with this action here: https://github.com/cognifloyd/example-python/runs/8296177323?check_suite_focus=true#step:3:1 Check out both steps: • Run st2sandbox/init-pants-action@main • Post Run st2sandbox/init-pants-action@main

We already have an actions repo so how about just propose a PR there.

Oh sweet. I didn't see that

cc @ancient-vegetable-10556, how does this intersect with your work on an init script?

I’m not sure it does, but I’d need to spend some real time looking at it to be sure

🥳 @happy-kitchen-89482 merged my new pants-init action in https://github.com/pantsbuild/actions/pull/3 Thanks! RFR https://github.com/pantsbuild/example-python/pull/106 This makes the example use the new action.
