Which backend is this for

high-yak-85899 · Answer

This was a custom plugin I wrote The executable we use was throwing an error for a coworker saying it couldn t find the `$HOME` variable Not sure why it wasn t raising an error for me our CI system

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

Your plugin would need to do something like `await Get Environment EnvironmentRequest HOME ` and then pass the result of that to your process invocations

example in the Go backend <https github com pantsbuild pants blob 23ea1b35bf614867f5249f0a7fc09eb2cf47e0cd src python pants backend go util rules sdk py L107>

Yup that s what I was thinking Just trying to decide whether I want to dive into it only not working for them see no evil

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

note that the idiomatic thing for a plugin to do would be to expose a config option that the user can set as needed

and that is what the linked example does

high-yak-85899 · Answer

Yeah makes sense I don t think this is really a configurable thing It s just something the backing executable we use seems to need

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

yeah obviously depends on your use case I agree non configurable definitely much simpler if it isn t actually needed
