Running

pants test path/to/test/my_test.py

which depends on a directory of data files. These data files are in the same directory, so I suppose these become a

target

. I think I can add these files like so in the BUILD file that lives inside the

test

directory:

python_tests(
    name="tests",
    dependencies=[":mydata"]
)

python_tests(
    name="tests0",

files(
    name="mydata",
    sources=["test-data/*"]
)

So far so good? 🧵 Edit: The issue was that there were two

python_tests

targets. Not sure how this happened. Maybe a

pants tailor ::

coupled with an overzealous read of the docs. I'm new to Pants. 😁

How do your tests read the files? the CWD of the test process should be the sandbox dir and so the path your tests use would need to be "tests/test-data/*" from what you described.

I'll try that out. Btw, would this layout be the culprit?

The BUILD file where I call out the test data is Root/myproject/test/BUILD.
