I’m writing a Pants plugin that does dependency inference. It depends on the

ariadne

third-party library. I have my

BUILD

file defined as follows.

python_requirement(name="ariadne", requirements=["ariadne==0.11.0"], resolve="pants-plugins")
python_sources(dependencies=["ariadne"], resolve="pants-plugins")

Then, in my plugin, I have the following at the top.

import ariadne

When running

./pants dependees …

, I’m getting the following error.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ariadne'

What am I missing here?

Pants does not use resolves for in-repo plugins. You need to add the dependency to the

[GLOBAL].plugins

option. https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.16/docs/plugins-overview#in-repo-plugins

got it, thanks!
