I my img tagged

latest

but only if

TAG

isn't defined

I'm not sure this is possible 😭 I've also tried playing tricks in a plugin, or seeing if I could inject ENV vars into Pants' execution ina rule. No Dice

I like that idea, although I'm realizing my desire for the docker plugin goes even further. For goals like

run

(and maybe

package

, idk) I want the tag and registry to be some hardcoded value, so that the built image doesn't have a long docker tag:

watson_orders/serviceA:latest

vs

<http://superr-log.amazon.ecs.url.com/serviceA:latest|superr-log.amazon.ecs.url.com/serviceA:latest>

And then only for

publish

do we do the actual registry tagging.

I guess thats secondary to the TAG issue though 🤔 I'll try the editing-

./pants

-thing 🙌

Oh actually, this is really easy and nice 🙈 Don't need the TAG hackery (although can still use it)

Used the

export DOCKER_TAG

trick, also wrote my own

run

rule for docker images. Last hurdle is https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/16353 but things are shaping up nicely
