Hey again, I think I have some kind of edge case which can't be handled by pants ... just to be sure I'd like to explain it and get some reactions. I have the scenario as in the attached picture: test_foo has foo_base as a dependency test_foo has no dependency on django-json-widget (and it's not getting loaded) foo_base has an seemlingly undeclared dependency on django-json-widget. If I now try to provide the dependency as described in the docs I get an warning: [WARN] The target foo/connect/foo_connect/settings.py:foo_connect_lib imports

foo_base.tenant_switcher.apps.TenantSwitcherConfig

, but Pants cannot safely infer a dependency because more than one target owns this module, so it is ambiguous which to use: ['foo/connect:foo-base', 'foo/connect:reqs#foo-base']. does this make sense?

Assuming

foo_base

is a

python_requirement

or

python_requirements

, you can explicitly add

django-json-widget

as a dependency to it: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-third-party-dependencies#requirements-with-undeclared-dependencies

that's what I'm doing, or at least trying:

python_sources()

python_requirement(
    name="django_json_widget",
    requirements=["django-json-widget"],
)

python_requirement(
    name="foo-base",
    requirements=["foo-base"],
    dependencies=[":django_json_widget"],
)


python_requirements(
    name="reqs",
    module_mapping={
        "django-parler": ["parler"],
        "django-parler-rest": ["parler_rest"],
        "django-environ": ["environ"],
        "django-autocomplete-light": ["dal"],
    }
)

Sounds like your

requirements.txt

read by

python_requirements

also has

foo-base

in it? In that case you want to add

overrides={
        "foo-base": {"dependencies": [":reqs#django-json-widget"]},
    },

to your python_requirements instead

ok, if I try that, like so:

python_requirements(
    name="reqs",
    module_mapping={
        "django-parler": ["parler"],
        "django-parler-rest": ["parler_rest"],
        "django-environ": ["environ"],
        "django-autocomplete-light": ["dal"],
    },
    overrides={
        "foo-base": {"dependencies": [":reqs#django_json_widget"]},
    },
)

I get this error:

ValueError: The explicit dependency `foo/connect:reqs#django_json_widget` of the target at `foo/connect:reqs#foo-base` does not provide enough address parameters to identify which parametrization of the dependency target should be used.

with a list of possible addresses

Does your requirements.txt have

django-json-widget

as well? If not, you still need a

python_requirement

for that dependency, and the address in your

overrides

would then be

:django_json_widget

(or w/e you name it).

yeah, my mistake
