oh maybe another quick question? Is anyone using emacs and able to get the pants dependencies on in their environment so xref will work?

this would be similar to setting up other IDEs I expect: (EDIT) https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-third-party-dependencies#tip-set-up-a-virtual-environment-optional

oop sorry I can't find the build_support folder?

oh, whoops! sorry, wrong search result
