Hello, I’m trying to get 👖 to run with a separate configuration file (with the ultimate goal of running in CodeBuild w/ build caching). I’ve set the following in a “local.ini” file—

[GLOBAL]
pants_workdir: /Users/ddcaaronm/Desktop/pants/.pants.d
plugin_cache_dir: /Users/ddcaaronm/Desktop/pants/plugin_cache/

[cache]
read_from: ['/Users/ddcaaronm/Desktop/pants/.cache']
write_to: ['/Users/ddcaaronm/Desktop/pants/.cache']

Most concerningly, compilation fails with the following:

[1/6] Compiling 1 scala-js source in 1 target (src/scala/com/coxautoinc/mediastrategy/strategize/domain:domain-js).
09:18:46 00:24       [compile]

                   compile(src/scala/com/coxautoinc/mediastrategy/strategize/domain:domain-js) failed: /Users/ddcaaronm/git/strategy-recommendations is not a directory containing /Users/ddcaaronm/Desktop/pants/.pants.d/resolve/scala-js-compile/a53b6931478d/src.scala.com.coxautoinc.mediastrategy.strategize.domain.domain-js/current/z.analysis
FAILURE: Compilation failure: Failed jobs: compile(src/scala/com/coxautoinc/mediastrategy/strategize/domain:domain-js)

Is this caused by a configuration issue? Secondly, when I look at my config w/

./pants --pants-config-files=local.ini options cache

many directories don’t appear to inherit from the settings specified in

local.ini

. Would I need to specificy all of these options? I expected these to be picked up from the

cache.read_from/write_to

config.

cache.read_from = ['/Users/ddcaaronm/Desktop/pants/.cache'] (from CONFIG in local.ini)
...
cache.write_to = ['/Users/ddcaaronm/Desktop/pants/.cache'] (from CONFIG in local.ini)
cache.analysis.read_from = ['/Users/ddcaaronm/git/strategy-recommendations/.cache'] (from HARDCODED)
cache.analysis.write_to = ['/Users/ddcaaronm/git/strategy-recommendations/.cache'] (from HARDCODED)
cache.analysis.zinc.read_from = ['/Users/ddcaaronm/git/strategy-recommendations/.cache'] (from HARDCODED)
cache.analysis.zinc.write_to = ['/Users/ddcaaronm/git/strategy-recommendations/.cache'] (from HARDCODED)
cache.bash-completion.read_from = ['/Users/ddcaaronm/git/strategy-recommendations/.cache'] (from HARDCODED)
cache.bash-completion.write_to = ['/Users/ddcaaronm/git/strategy-recommendations/.cache'] (from HARDCODED)
cache.bench.read_from = ['/Users/ddcaaronm/git/strategy-recommendations/.cache'] (from HARDCODED)
cache.bench.write_to = ['/Users/ddcaaronm/git/strategy-recommendations/.cache'] (from HARDCODED)
cache.binary.read_from = ['/Users/ddcaaronm/git/strategy-recommendations/.cache'] (from HARDCODED)
cache.binary.write_to = ['/Users/ddcaaronm/git/strategy-recommendations/.cache'] (from HARDCODED)

Is this caused by a configuration issue?

Yes. You are mixing a few things in here. The

[cache]

setup is fine - it can be anywhere. The

pants_workdir

must be within the clone. That's what "/Users/ddcaaronm/git/strategy-recommendations is not a directory containing /Users/ddcaaronm/Desktop/pants/.pants.d/..." is trying to say. Unless you have a reason to move the

pants_workdir

probabaly best to leave that alone.
