I am getting an error running

pants publish

that I did not experience with 2.17 but I am getting it with 2.18.0rc3: `ResolveError: No owning targets could be found for the file

conftest.py

.` There is a

BUILD

file in the same directory level as conftest.py and when I'm running publish I'm pointing at a specific folder

pants publish path/to/src::

Is there a

python_test_utils

target in that

BUILD

file? https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-python_test_utils If not, you might want to try

pants update-build-files ::

and see if it generates any new targets

There's not. We don't actually use pants for testing yet

it’s

pants tailor

to add missing targets.. the other one is to fix/rename deprecated fields etc.

Yeah. We needed to run

pants tailor

at the root dir. We only run that in CI and don't actually check in all of our

BUILD

files. So the root

BUILD

wasn't getting updated with

python_test_utils

I’d suggest checking in the BUILD files, and running tailor in check mode in CI to catch any mistakes.. that way you know for certain what you’re running with in CI 😉

Yeah. That's probably the way to go. We were avoiding checking in a bunch of files that just had

python_sources()

in them

yea, would be nice to be able to get rid of those altogether..
