Is there any reason that running

./pants dependees --closed path/to/file.py

would yield nothing, but running

./pants dependees --closed --transitive path/to/file.py

on the same file would yield something? I’m trying to figure out why this is happening right now

Is the "something" the input file?

yes exactly!

So I guess

--closed

only works with

--transitive

ahhh i see! im not at my computer right now but i will try it without that when i get back

A specific example would be helpful

Sure. In one file, I have an import like so:

from front_porch.modules.lending_leads.graphql.lending_leads_module_config import lending_lead_module_config

When I run the following command, nothing is output.

./pants dependees front_porch/modules/lending_leads/graphql/lending_leads_module_config.py

But when I run the following command, I see a ton of stuff output, including the file that imports

front_porch/modules/lending_leads/graphql/lending_leads_module_config.py

./pants dependees --transitive front_porch/modules/lending_leads/graphql/lending_leads_module_config.py

Sounds like a bug
