I am looking at the

list

goal documentation and see https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.6/docs/reference-list#section-provides. Running

$ ./pants list --list-provides=True ::

does print names from the

python_distribution

and from the

provides=setup_py()

in the root

BUILD

file

//:python_distribution-name setup_py-name

The help says:

List only targets that provide an artifact, displaying the columns specified by --provides-columns.

I can’t find docs on

--provides-columns

argument — is it a refactoring leftover or something that is coming that’s not available in the public docs yet? Many thanks.

That looks like a stale help string, will fix. Thanks!
