Pants

did we fix the issue where filesystem specs wouldn't find a target if the BUILD file was higher up than the immediate parent directory? <@U051221NF> <@UB2J9BQA0>

What’s the issue? This is the first I’ve heard of that

Run `./v2 list src/python/pants/util/strutil.py`. It will correctly find two targets, including one that is defined in a grandparent directory via a `files()` target

i posted about it in <#C0D7TNJHL|engine> a week ago i'll find it

if the filesystem spec is before the goal pants can't see any goals

That’s expected. Our grammar is `./pants &lt;global-options&gt; &lt;goal&gt; &lt;goal-options&gt; &lt;specs&gt; -- &lt;passthrough args&gt;`
