Potentially dumb question but how do I only regenerate lockfiles for resolves that have been updated?

new here but I'll try answering with my limited knowledge rather than just asking for a change 🙂 I've found a manual way of doing this via

pants generate-lockfiles --generate-lockfiles-resolve="['resolve_1', 'resolve_2']"

I haven't yet found a more automated way -- for example, something that could look at unstaged changes or changes between two revisions and regenerate only lockfiles for affected resolves.

there are no dumb questions.. we all had to learn the basics or not so basics at some point. there’s no out-of-the box way to do it, but if you’re up for some mechanics you could do it with:

$ pants peek --filter-target-type=python_requirement --changed-dependents=transitive --changed-since=main | jq -r '.[] | .resolve // "python-default"' | sort | uniq
python-default

then use that as input for the next step

$ pants generate-lockfiles --resolve=...

(note: you can omit the goal name from the option when used after the goal on the command line as the scope will be inferred..)
