Problem Hey I am trying to run Pulumi with wants (have an infra folder in my repo) but I couldn't get it to work. My project is gonna have a bunch of lambdas and I wanted to have a setup so I can deploy my lambdas to a dev environment without having to run it through CI. What I Found I used the slack search and it seems like a year ago someone dropped a single zip file to a plugin and some other people were talking about using

run_shell_command

. I don't want to rely on someones year old code and it seems that

run_shell_command

doesn't do what I thought. What I Tried Here's what I have: 1. I exported the dependencies to a virtualenv 2. I have an infra folder with a

Pulumi.yaml

that has

virtualenv: ../dist/export/python/virtualenvs/python-default/3.11.4

3. At this point if I run

pulumi up

I get this error `error: failed to discover plugin requirements: calling `python -m pip list -v --format json`: exit status 1` 4. I tried getting into an ipython repl and using

!pulumi up

only to get the same error 5. So I tried to add a

run_shell_command

that looks as follow:

# in infra/BUILD
run_shell_command(
    command="pulumi",
    execution_dependencies=[":infra"],
    runnable_dependencies=["/home/me/.pulumi/bin/pulumi"],
)

At this point I can't run the shell command. Running

pants run

lets me know that there are no runnable targets. Using

pants peek infra:infra

gives me this error `InvalidSpecPathError: Invalid address

/home/me/.pulumi/bin/pulumi

from the

runnable_dependencies

field from the target infra:infra. It has an un-normalized path part: `""``. The Questions 1. I don't have a high tolerance for a complicated or brittle solution. Should I just separate this part out and use poetry/etc to manage it? 2. If not, what am I missing to get this to work? 3. I noticed that it doesn't seem that there's an equivalent to

poetry run

or

poetry shell

. Why not?

for

run_shell_command

, the PATH is inherited, since it's a "run"able target. (

runnable_dependenices

is for pants' runnable targets that you want to include.)

run_shell_command(
    command="pulumi",
    execution_dependencies=[":infra"],
)

^ should work

The nice thing about

poetry run

and

poetry shell

is that they can run any command not just python that's in your repo. So for instance if I'm using vim and have a plugin that checks the current python environment to provide autocompletion

pants run

wont help me.

sorry for the late reply. Pants target addresses are relative. You can use an absolute target address, which use "//" at the start. For example, "//infra:infra".

pants peek

works on build files, so I think you'd want to use

pants peek infra

. You can also see all targets with

pants list //::

. If your BUILD file is "infra/BUILD", and your target has the default name, I think the target you want is "infra:infra".
