When running Pants commands I m seeing `Filesystem changed d

Question

When running Pants commands I m seeing `Filesystem changed during run retrying `Lint` in 500ms ` happen seemingly sporadically Is there any way to dive into which file s changed Admittedly my setup is weird as we transition to Pants I m running Pants in a subprocess from Python being run as a `bazel run myscript py` command So there s probably shenanigans happening but understanding what changed would help me narrow the shenanigan er

According to the code I don t see any `debug` calls Additionally I d prefer not to turn off `watch filesystem` because `pantsd` s caching is good slightly smiling face

Ok running pants directly also has this symptom so Bazel is a red herring

bitter-ability-32190 · Answer

Although Bazel does open a lot of symlinks and has a daemon so could still be a problem I ll just ignore the file for now
