Describe the bug When running pants in a devcontainer, the proper version can't be found. I don't see a lot of v2 versions in the list of versions either. My repo had no problems previously with a local macOS install or on linux with linuxbrew in Github Codespaces.

Pants version 2.15.0

OS Are you encountering the bug on MacOS, Linux, or both? I'm on macOS, but running this in a linux container.

Additional info Add any other information about the problem here, such as attachments or links to gists, if relevant. My .devcontainer file:

// For format details, see https://aka.ms/devcontainer.json. For config options, see the
// README at: https://github.com/devcontainers/templates/tree/main/src/python
{
    "name": "Python 3",
    // Or use a Dockerfile or Docker Compose file. More info: https://containers.dev/guide/dockerfile
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/python:1-3.10-bullseye",

    // Features to add to the dev container. More info: https://containers.dev/features.
    // "features": {},

    // Use 'forwardPorts' to make a list of ports inside the container available locally.
    // "forwardPorts": [],

    // Use 'postCreateCommand' to run commands after the container is created.
    "postCreateCommand": "curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsSL https://static.pantsbuild.org/setup/get-pants.sh | bash",

    // Configure tool-specific properties.
    // "customizations": {},

    // Uncomment to connect as root instead. More info: https://aka.ms/dev-containers-non-root.
    // "remoteUser": "root"
}

On startup, it looks successful. I also added it to my PATH.

Running the postCreateCommand from devcontainer.json...

Downloading and installing the pants launcher ...
Installed the pants launcher from https://github.com/pantsbuild/scie-pants/releases/latest/download/scie-pants-linux-aarch64 to /home/vscode/bin/pants
/home/vscode/bin/pants is not on the PATH.
You'll either need to invoke /home/vscode/bin/pants explicitly or else add /home/vscode/bin to your shell's PATH.

Running `pants` in a Pants-enabled repo will use the version of Pants configured for that repo.
In a repo not yet Pants-enabled, it will prompt you to set up Pants for that repo.
Done. Press any key to close the terminal.

Sorry for the trouble.

What's the output of uname -a within the container? I'm guessing it's Linux ARM64?

Pants has some platform-specific native code, and, 2.16.0 is the first stable release that includes support for Linux ARM64: previous releases only support:

• Linux x86-64 (I imagine this is the platform for Github Codespaces)
• macOS x86-64
• macOS ARM64 (I imagine this is your local platform)

(Compare the various wheels files between https://pypi.org/project/pantsbuild.pants/2.15.0/#files and https://pypi.org/project/pantsbuild.pants/2.16.0/#files)

Thus, assuming my guess is correct, 2.15.0 will not work on the local container. Approaches to fix this:

1. continue using Pants 2.15, but only run it natively on macOS
2. continue using Pants 2.15, but run it within a x86-64 Linux container, instead of ARM (likely to be very slow, if your experience of running emulated x865-64 containers on ARM Mac is anything like mine!)
3. upgrade to Pants 2.16, and hopefully be able to run within the Linux container 'normally'

I'd recommend 3! 😄

Yes, I'm on an Apple Silicon (ARM) M1 Macbook Pro.

Looks like bumping up to 2.16.0 in the pants.toml did the trick. Maybe this should be included in the docs somewhere?

Thanks!

Maybe this should be included in the docs somewhere?

Yes we agree, so it is (but maybe could be in more places?)

Closing as answered.
