Any ideas how to implement https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/9804 properly? (as what i tried didn't work)
w
so, that relates to something else that we need to nail down. IMO: we should not be rendering the stdout/stderr output for successful runs by default. but fixing it would require adding an option to control the behavior.
f
even if you didn't do it in successful runs the problem i'm hitting would be relevant in failed runs...
admittedly, your changes might significantly impact how wherever the thing i want to go goes (and at this point i have no idea where that is)
Also, personally, i'd prefer a
|uniq -c
or something
i don't need to see 1000 identical lines in a row, whether or not a run is successful.
but, such a thing probably should also be flag managable

agreed. we have near term plans to improve this, which @hundreds-breakfast-49010 will be working on. we’re going to be changing the output model fairly substantially.
so yea, probably best not to focus too much on that case.
f
should i just file an issue / two / talk to @hundreds-breakfast-49010 / leave this alone?
This seemed like a possible entrypoint for me learning how plugins work so i could try to write one for my tool. but it seems like it isn't...

@fancy-summer-52431 this looks like it might be the result of a terminal output bug I'm in the middle of working on fixing

@fancy-summer-52431: i think we can drop this one for now: it will already be changing
@hundreds-breakfast-49010: it’s not… we render one line per target. we might continue to do that (ie, one line per completing workunit), or not… depending
h
@fancy-summer-52431 Maybe not the best entry point, but we're happy to help you figure out how to write a plugin via some other path.

@happy-kitchen-89482: 🙂 so I have https://github.com/marketplace/actions/check-spelling which I use to find spelling errors. Ideally I'd like others to be able to use something like it.
I guess the starting point is... how can I easily wrap
unknown-words.sh
for pants? -- preferably w/o having to fork the repository.
h
We should have documentation for how to write a plugin up soon, I'd suggest waiting for that and then hopefully it should be relatively clear...

And if it's not, that would be great feedback for us to have!
