Copy code
pants.toml
-pants_version = "2.12.0"
+pants_version = "%(env.MY_FAVOURITE_PANTS_VERSION)s" Copy code
$ MY_FAVOURITE_PANTS_VERSION="2.12.0" ./pants version
./pants: line 132: [[: %(env: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "%(env")

08/17/2022, 1:59 PMoh interesting. If I remove
pants_version[GLOBAL] Copy code
./pants version --pants-version="2.12.0"
Please explicitly specify the `pants_version` in your `pants.toml` under the `[GLOBAL]` scope.
See <https://pypi.org/project/pantsbuild.pants/#history> for all released versions
and <https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/installation> for more instructions.fresh-cat-90827

Copy code
$ PANTS_VERSION="2.12.0" ./pants version
