Hey peeps! Any thoughts on doing integration testing with Pants? I need to spin up my applications and send them each an HTTP request as a smoke test. What I've come up with thus far is to just write this process as a python script, but maybe I should look into writing a plugin? Or does pants support this somehow already?

Did you see

runtime_package_dependencies

on

python_test(s)

targets in your research?: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-python_test#coderuntime_package_dependenciescode That allows a test to, for example, depend on 1 or more production PEXes which it can execute (say via the

subprocess

module) and interact with.

Yeah, that works! Although I now have to make my apps be able to run on different ports since I can't run these concurrently with everyone listening on 8000. Thanks!

If you dig a bit further with the new

runtime_package_dependencies

keyword ... that would be good. Docker is covered.
