I missed dryrun >_<

sometimes the options can be a little confusing — were you able to find this just from

./pants help

, or somewhere else?

I reread the doc and noticed the --no-dryrun in the last paragraph https://www.pantsbuild.org/publish.html

i have been in this exact position before (looking for this option) and it was a while ago and i think i remember this happening to someone else inside twitter. the publish docs look pretty good (from a glance?), so this may be fine for now, but i'm trying to find ways to make options more discoverable without having to read all of

./pants options

or jumping into the pants codebase itself. glad you found it, and thanks for providing the source!

no problem

ah! one way to avoid some of that is to use the somewhat-documented syntax for options provided after goals -- something like

./pants publish.jar --no-dryrun <target>

will do the same as

./pants --no-publish-jar-dryrun publish <target>

(the

.jar

after

publish

only affects scopes of options applied after it, not the targets selected. we're working on streamlining this interface)

thanks for the tips !
