Pants Cloud Quickstart

This guide shows how to connect your Pantsbuild project to NativeLink Cloud.

  1. If you can’t find a pants.toml file, create one in the root directory of your Pantsbuild project:

    • Directoryproject/
      • get-pants.sh
      • BUILD
      • pants.toml

  2. Copy the following lines into your pants.toml:

    pants.toml
    [GLOBAL]
    remote_cache_read = true
    remote_cache_write = true
    remote_store_address = "[REMOTE_STORE_ADDRESS]"
    

    [GLOBAL.remote_store_headers]
    x-nativelink-api-key = "[API_KEY]"

  3. Run a pants build with the following flags:

    Terminal window
    pants --no-pantsd --level=trace --no-local-cache test ::

  4. You’ll see remote cache use on the Dashboard page.
