if you've removed it and made sure the env var isn't set (or explicitly call

unset PANTS_BINARIES_PATH_BY_ID

), and it continues to fail, then adding

binaries_path_by_id: {('darwin', '18'): ('mac', '10.14')}

in

[GLOBAL]

should solve the problem -- but i would ask you to make an issue if you can with any repro info you have at hand, since this is supposed to be fixed. it's possible we could do something more complex to detect if the option is being overridden, but it's not clear what the right behavior would necessarily be there
