Right that part is fine I just don t want Pants to ever try to build these images

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

if there is some other checks linting being done during the image build then that probably would have to be pulled out into a rule that could run under the lint or check goals

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

there s a `skip push` field

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

you probably want something like `skip package` or `no default package`

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

which would need to be implemented but is a straight easy contribution to make for a suitably motivated contributor

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

although you can add a tag and then exclude targets with that tag

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

My thought is maybe targets could be marked such that they did not match patterns like ` ` but required specifying their exact address to process them

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

so ` pants package path to target some docker image` would build it but ` pants package ` would skip it

Gotcha thanks thumbsup

fast-nail-55400 · Answer

to be clear I don t plan on implementing it feel free to open an issue with this idea if you d like to see it

Interesting use case In python we model this by having the lintable thing be `python sources` and then a separate packageable target such as `pex binary` or `python distribution` points to the python sources it consumes

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

But that s not how we modeled the targets for Docker

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

We should probably be more uniform about this sort of thing
