#17617 `experimental_shell_command` requires using `relocated_files` to produce sane artifacts New issue created by chrisjrn Using the

outputs

field on

experimental_shell_command

exports a file for use by subsequent targets. If the target is being used for an archive, this is probably not ideal. Per this example, if you want to add the outputs to an archive that's not organised like your monorepo structure, you need to repeat the location of the

BUILD

file as the

src

field of a

relocated_files

target. Possible fixes: • Add a

strip_prefix

field to

experimental_shell_command

, which would strip the prefix from the files in the output digest • Add a

<PWD>

special value to `relocated_files`'

src

or

dest

fields Make

build_file_dir()

clearer for

relocated_files

uses • Maybe something else? pantsbuild/pants
