I'd like to create a pex including Pytest & Playwright to run Synthetics tests on a live production server. Is there a way to specify Pants's version of Pytest in a dependency? Am I over-complicating how to think about this?

not sure what you’re trying to do exactly, but if you want a particular version of pants in your resolve, this target could be useful: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-pants_requirements

create a docker image w/ the same version of pytest that's bundled with pants

np. thanks for incidentally bringing this target to my attention, I think we have something to address here..

You can install pytest from your own dependency specification, which allows treating it as a normal dependency. I’m on phone so can’t link, but the

install_from_resolve

config is what’s relevant

I assume you have to run

playwright install

on the deployed pex somehow, to install the actual browser engines?
