Hey all, is it possible to get structured output of

pants dependencies

, for example, in json?

pants peek

gives JSON-formatted info, including dependencies. You may need to combine multiple steps like

pants dependencies ... | xargs pants peek ...

and/or post-process the JSON to get exactly what you want

But peek only shows direct dependencies, right? I want to get the whole transitive tree of dependencies in json format in constant number of calls to pants, preferably in one command

Yeah, you may need to use

dependencies --transitive

and the pipe. Either that or

pants peek ::

and then computing the transitive dependencies yourself from that output. I don't know of a single call that does what it sounds like you want to do.

I think I got you, you suggest first getting the list of everything I need and then feed it into peek, yep, thanks
