Hi, not sure if this the right place, but I’m struggling with setting up test dependencies. I’m following the same structure and configuration as noted in the docs. My pytest section in

pants.toml

looks like this:

[pytest]
install_from_resolve = "pytest"
requirements =["//3rdparty/python:pytest"]
execution_slot_var = "PANTS_EXECUTION_SLOT"
config = "tools/pytest.ini"

Other files like BUILD in the

3rdparty/python

with the

pytest

python_requirements

exists and dedicated requirements file. This the error I get:

09:51:58.73 [INFO] Canceled: Building 6 requirements for requirements.pex from the 3rdparty/python/lockfiles/default.lock resolve: UnleashClient>=5.8.0, django>=4, pydantic-settings>=2.0.3, pytest==7.0.1, returns>=0.19.0, structl... (10 characters truncated)

I tried

requirements =["3rdparty/python:pytest"]

but same parsing error, only on

/python

. Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance!

Try

requirements = ["pytest"]

instead.

That helped, thanks!

The docs do say that the values can be pip-style requirements or addresses of python_requirement targets though, so not sure why addresses didn’t work for you.

Yeah, it confused me as well (I’m on pants version `2.16.0rc0`')

I’d be curious if

pants_version = "2.16.0"

had the same issue

That may have been fixed in 2.16.0, can you try?

Yes, it seems to be working with this version 🎉

Great!
