Hi everyone, i’m setting up a quite peculiar Continuous integration job in a project that happens to not have access to the

./git

folder of its repository. So, i’m kind of trying to recreate the behavior of pants in regards to recognition of affected targets based on the changes. I want to recreate the command

pants --changed-since=origin/develop --changed-dependents=transitive test

Assuming that I have a text file with list of file paths (that represent my “--changed-since”). and i’m using the following command:

cat .pipeline/changed-files | sed 's|/BUILD$|/|' | xargs pants dependents | xargs pants test

Which works reasonably well. The input file includes the BUILD files in its list, so i’m replacing them with the path of its directory in this case. I’m aware of some improvements that need to be done: • Identifying changes in

pants.toml

files, that should trigger all tests • Handling the transitive dependencies Anything else i might be forgetting? Do you have any hints? Thank you in advance

I think you need

... | xargs pants dependents --transitive | ...

Thank you @square-psychiatrist-19087. You are right!

You're welcome!
