When building macros, is there an idiomatic way of listing all the target names that the macro created? I’m trying to create a macro that will define a bunch of

system-binary

dependencies to be used by other targets and would like to simply add them as a group to an

adhoc_tool

runnable dependencies.

Does the macro just get applied in 1 place / 1 call? If so it has the full list of deps and can plop out an additional target target that depends on the full list: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-target

The idea is to have it applied once per project in the monorepo. I think

target

would work but since it is a generic target I can’t use it as a dependency in runnables_dependencies. I get the error:

ValueError: Address `node:deps` was specified as a runnable dependency, but is not
runnable.

Ah, ok. We used to have an

alias

target for that sort of thing IIRC that got inlined / expanded and so was transparent, but no more.

That would have been great. Or if I could somehow specify what kind of target

target

is
