Does Pants have a Please Equivalent of

genrule()

- run a command, that outputs files s part of the build (is that

experimental_shell_command

) or something else?

experimental_shell_command

is it, you guessed it

@incalculable-grass-76623 did that work for you?

@happy-kitchen-89482 to be honest - i have flipped over to checking out

Please

. using

genrule()

which is the Please equivalent.

experimental_shell_command

did work but the output files, i was not able to grasp entirely

I always thought, like Pants, please is a fun name and terrible for SEO. I stopped evaluating please when I saw it didn't have great Python support. Depending on your use case, there's always a chance another tool fits better, but we'd love to know why so we can keep improving. We value feedback a ton! What aspect of the output files was unintuitive? We can and should improve the documentation
