I wonder if it would be helpful for ` pants goals` to print

Question

I wonder if it would be helpful for ` pants goals` to print the source file where that goal is implemented maybe with a special ` debug` flag

hundreds-father-404 · Answer

Good idea This would entail adding `logging` to the python file and then calling `logging debug` You can look at `python test runner py` as an example You d turn it on via ` ldebug` when running Pants

is ` ldebug` a flag that already exists

hundreds-breakfast-49010 · Answer

hm looks like `python test runner py` doesn t have the string logging in it

hundreds-father-404 · Answer

Oh wait not that one I think it s test Afk It s under core rules I think

hundreds-father-404 · Answer

Yes ` ldebug` exists Go to `global options py` It s short for ` level` iirc

what is the `active` flag on a goal used for right now I wonder if it makes sense for v2 goals to only have that flag set if the ` v2` flag is passed in and similar for v1 goals with ` no v1`

these are all really good ideas

aloof-angle-91616 · Answer

the v2 rule interface is really really open right now and i encourage you because this is what i do to implement these ideas when feasible and just toss up a PR because it means we can keep changes small and we can iterate

i really really want to work on ` query` soon and will immediately once i finish this other thing ugh

but basically there aren t a ton of people who can definitively answer these questions so sometimes i have found it easier to barge on ahead and risk closing a PR because it didn t end up being necessary like <https github com pantsbuild pants pull 8046> which i m going to close or remove most of
