#17363 Buf 1.9 isn't compatible with the buf backend Issue created by jyggen Running Buf 1.9 results in the following error during `pants fmt`:

Failure: exec: "diff": cannot run executable found relative to current directory

From the Go docs:

To avoid those security problems, as of Go 1.19, this package will not resolve a program using an implicit or explicit path entry relative to the current directory.

buf format

needs

diff

in order to run, and our buf backend uses

BinaryShims

to get

diff

into the sandbox. Taking a look at

BinaryShims.bin_directory

, which we add to

PATH

before running

buf

, it is very much a relative path. The easy fix would be to make

BinaryShims.bin_directory

an absolute path instead, but we don't know about the sandbox and its path at the time

bin_directory

is set. Instead we can patch the sandbox similar to the `GoSdkProcess` rule to make

PATH

absolute. pantsbuild/pants
