Hi, I was trying to run pants in github action and got this when running

./pants --level=debug binary ...

What does this mean and how to fix it?

Huh. Nothing else to the error message? I'm not sure - is it determistic if you restart CI?

I ran it again and it’s basically the same.

Huh. Did something change recently when this started happening, like this is on a new PR?

hmm. This is a new github action for me. I am just testing if this will work. Previously it did not exist in my project.

Hm okay. I'm honestly not sure what the issue is nor how to debug it. My first guess would be to make sure that the environment has program like

unzip

on it..but I don't think Pex would be subprocessing out to

unzip

- probably would be using PYthon's

zip

module What's your GitHub environment? The standard runner, for example?

I think so. I didn’t set up a self-hosted one.

Which version of Pants is this?

It’s pants

1.17.0

and python

2.7

… I am working on the upgrade on the other hand…

Ah, that is a very very old Pants 🙂 Unfortunately I'm not sure we can debug that far back very easily.

ok… Eventually, I need to face it. I will open another thread for this upgrading. I have already encountered some problems lol…
