Question

Is there a way that I can execute a command that I run with ` pants run` as `sudo` without pants switching to the root user cache

first of all sounds like a bad idea to do this

square-forest-55300 · Answer

i would probably create a group role with the specific rights necessary

i guess it highly depends on what you re trying to do

You can re set the paths to the caches back to those under the non su s homedir with these options via cmd line flag or env var or supplemental config file

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

I think the ` pants` script also uses the homedir for something you might have to tweak that as well

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

But keep in mind that Pants will write files as the root user and this may mess with any future runs as the non root user

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

This overall seems like it will be trouble

square-forest-55300 · Answer

not only for build artifacts and executables You got pants service running as a root then

Thanks guys for the suggestions and infos You re absolutely right about not doing that I ll look into how I can restructure the process there to not require sudo at that place

I don t think this is something you would want to do ever I m even splitting building and installing software with Make It does mess with git repositories from time to time as well

Regardless of which build system you are using
