If I run

pants dependents --transitive --changed-since=origin/main

I'll get something like

foo:foo
foo:cli
foo/src/foo/__main__.py
...

The target

foo:foo

Is a docker_image (I can validate via

pants peek foo:foo

) if I run

pants package --changed-since=origin/main --dependents-transitive --dependents-closed

I'd expect the docker_image to build but that's not happening. What am I missing?

$ pants help changed
...
  --changed-dependents=<DependentsOption>
  PANTS_CHANGED_DEPENDENTS
  dependents
      one of: [none, direct, transitive]
      default: none
      current value: none
      Include direct or transitive dependents of changed targets.

You will need to add

--changed-dependents=transitive

Thanks!

this suggests we have a slight design issue, where each goal has their own flags for the ~same thing.

It would seem like we should error or warn when an option from a GoalSubsystem is passed when that goal is not even being requested to run.

I'd say not to error, we don't know the reason it was being passed, but we could potentially warn if it was provided on the command line for a short-term stop gap I guess..
