are there any blockers to someone else implementing v2 passthrough args?

The main blocker is that task scopes do not exist in V2 and I think we’ve agreed we should not add back task scopes. WIthout being able to do this:

./pants test.py :: -- -vv

The best we could do is:

./pants test :: -- -vv

How does Pants know what to pass these args to? In V1, this would pass to every test runner. If Junit happens to not have

-vv

defined as an option, the tests won’t work. What happens if you want to also pass args to Junit? Now:

./pants test :: --pytest-args='-vv' --junit-args='--retries=3'

If you want to tweak this, I personally press the up arrow key and change the last few characters:

./pants test :: --pytest-args='-v' --junit-args='--retries=2'
