Hi, I'm running

pytest

with the

pytest_dynamodb

plugin which requires the pytest runner to spin off a subprocess. I'm having an issue where even providing the full

/usr/bin/java

path, Pants' pytest runner can't find the binary

I'm aware of the

tools

argument on

experimental_shell_command

and I am wondering if I need something similar in my

python_tests

or pytest-args

hm do you know how Pytest does its discovery of the binary? Looking at

$PATH

it's just using subprocess under the hood

so I believe it respects path

For future souls that come across this thread: It was because of an

asdf

ship around the

java

command

so pants got confused when packaging up the workdir

Thank you for the update! Hm so anything you think Pants is doing wrong or should be improved?

I'm not sure? I think the issue is that it copied the

asdf

shim (which is a bash script to select a version based on current directory) and not

java

itself

Perhaps allowing an override like telling pants a specific java binary location would be good so that it ignores the PATH containing

~/.asdf/shims/java
