Moving my questions here to hopefully not clutter #general as much. When I download an external tool, will it automatically make it executable? When I installed it locally, I had to run
chmod +x <file>
before I could actually use it.
Seems like yes. Had an unrelated error

If you're using
ExternalToolRequest
then the executable whose path is
generate_exe
should be marked as executable

@high-yak-85899 Just a heads up that if you're able to open source the plugin part of what you're doing with a simple, contrived sample code example, I think we'd be able to streamline some help. Not sure how much effort that would be though
You could feel free to fork and create a branch of https://github.com/sureshjoshi/pants-plugins - if you want some of the scaffolding handled

Yeah, I think the stuff we're doing is really general and doesn't involve much risk. I'm mostly just being hyper-specific to Artifactory since that's our need at the moment which had me hesitant about opening things up. I'll explore that option with the team.
I think I'm actually really close to getting this working. If I run into something substantial, though, I'll see what I can do about opening it up.
