Has anyone seen this type of error before? I’m running

./pants list ::

on a Gitlab CI/CD job. This is what my

pants.ci.toml

looks like.

[GLOBAL]
pantsd = false
watch_filesystem = false

local_store_dir = ".cache/pants/lmdb_store"
named_caches_dir = ".cache/pants/named_caches"

process_execution_local_parallelism = 8

hm. that sure looks like

watch_filesystem

is not being obeyed. are you definitely enabling use of

pants.ci.toml

for the relevant run?

Ahh, I’m not. 😳 That’s probably it. Thanks!
