black

skip

--[no-]black-skip

PANTS_BLACK_SKIP

If true, don't use Black when running ./pants fmt and ./pants lint.

args

--black-args="[<shell_str>, <shell_str>, ...]"

PANTS_BLACK_ARGS

Arguments to pass directly to Black, e.g. --black-args='--target-version=py37 --quiet'.

export

--[no-]black-export

PANTS_BLACK_EXPORT

If true, export a virtual environment with Black when running ./pants export.

This can be useful, for example, with IDE integrations to point your editor to the tool's binary.

version

--black-version=<str>

PANTS_BLACK_VERSION

Requirement string for the tool.

extra_requirements

--black-extra-requirements="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"

PANTS_BLACK_EXTRA_REQUIREMENTS

[
  "typing-extensions>=3.10.0.0; python_version < \"3.10\""
]

Any additional requirement strings to use with the tool. This is useful if the tool allows you to install plugins or if you need to constrain a dependency to a certain version.

interpreter_constraints

--black-interpreter-constraints="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"

PANTS_BLACK_INTERPRETER_CONSTRAINTS

[
  "CPython>=3.7,<4"
]

Python interpreter constraints for this tool.

lockfile

--black-lockfile=<str>

PANTS_BLACK_LOCKFILE

Path to a lockfile used for installing the tool.

Set to the string <default> to use a lockfile provided by Pants, so long as you have not changed the --version and --extra-requirements options, and the tool's interpreter constraints are compatible with the default. Pants will error or warn if the lockfile is not compatible (controlled by [python].invalid_lockfile_behavior). See https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/release_2.14.1/src/python/pants/backend/python/lint/black/black.lock for the default lockfile contents.

Set to the string <none> to opt out of using a lockfile. We do not recommend this, though, as lockfiles are essential for reproducible builds and supply-chain security.

To use a custom lockfile, set this option to a file path relative to the build root, then run ./pants generate-lockfiles --resolve=black.

Alternatively, you can set this option to the path to a custom lockfile using pip's requirements.txt-style, ideally with --hash. Set [python].invalid_lockfile_behavior = 'ignore' so that Pants does not complain about missing lockfile headers.

console_script

--black-console-script=<str>

PANTS_BLACK_CONSOLE_SCRIPT

The console script for the tool. Using this option is generally preferable to (and mutually exclusive with) specifying an --entry-point since console script names have a higher expectation of staying stable across releases of the tool. Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.

entry_point

--black-entry-point=<str>

PANTS_BLACK_ENTRY_POINT

The entry point for the tool. Generally you only want to use this option if the tool does not offer a --console-script (which this option is mutually exclusive with). Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.

config

--black-config=<file_option>

PANTS_BLACK_CONFIG

Path to a TOML config file understood by Black (https://github.com/psf/black#configuration-format).

Setting this option will disable [black].config_discovery. Use this option if the config is located in a non-standard location.

config_discovery

--[no-]black-config-discovery

PANTS_BLACK_CONFIG_DISCOVERY

If true, Pants will include any relevant pyproject.toml config files during runs.

Use [black].config instead if your config is in a non-standard location.
