@average-vr-56795 two questions: (1) would a pr fixing the warning messages for missing source globs be a useful contribution at some point? (2) i've tried

PATH='/usr/bin:/bin' ./pants clean-all test tests/python/pants_test/backend/python/tasks:python_native_code_testing

(which includes

test_build_local_python_distributions.py

), but i'm not seeing the dyld error you describe in your comments on #5936. i see why it would happen now (because we're bringing in the native toolchain unconditionally when we invoke a

python_dist()

, which is fixed in #5815), but i'm not sure how to reconcile whatever is different in our osx environments (and I assume mine is the wrong one, because i was building the

xz

binary earlier -- i have cleared

~/.cache/pants/bin/xz

but it still works)

1. Yes absolutely! (Assuming you're referencing my comment on my PR today?)

yes!

2. My guess is you have a dylib installed on a search path which I don't. otool or dtruss may help work out where...

got it

(or maybe the opposite is the case, and I have an incompatible dylib on my path :P)

i posted a change which i think might fix your issue: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/5936#issuecomment-395924983, check whenever you have the time
