#17871 Unable to pass a buf config file while running buf linter Issue created by anteverse Describe the bug Hey, it seems we can't pass a buf config file to the

buf

linter (from the backend

pants.backend.codegen.protobuf.lint.buf

). My example: in `pants.toml`:

[GLOBAL]
backend_packages = [
  "pants.backend.codegen.protobuf.python",
  "pants.backend.codegen.protobuf.lint.buf",
  ...
]

[buf]
lint_args = [
  "--config buf.yaml"
]

file tree:

./
├── proto/
│   ├── user.proto
│   └── BUILD
├── pants.toml
└── buf.yaml

When running:

./pants lint --only=buf-lint ::

I get a

Failure: could not read file: open buf.yaml: no such file or directory

. My understanding is that it fails because the argument seems to be evaluated at runtime and there's no reason the yaml file should be embedded in the sandbox as I have declared the protos with the target

protobuf_sources

which only takes

proto

files. Enabling

--keep-sandboxes=on_failure

reveals the yaml config file is not present, as expected. Maybe this could be a feature request? Like enabling a

config

param in

[buf]

section? Let me know! Also, feel free to ask for any clarification or samples. Thanks a lot! Pants version 2.14.0 OS MacOS Additional info Buf config looks like this: sample config pantsbuild/pants
