I'm troubleshooting trying to include an

python_aws_lambda_function()

in my Terraform deployment. but I'm unable to get pants to keep the deployment sandboxes even with

--keep-sandboxes=always

enabled. Is there some regression that's preventing the keeping of sandboxes with

experimental-deploy

?

Could be. What version of pants are you using? And is the step that's failing the one that would execute

terraform apply

?

@careful-address-89803 I'm on

2.21.01

, and the step would be the

terraform plan

via the

--dry-run

Confirming that we don't keep sandboxes for the deployment itself. I've got a fix in for that

I had to audible for the time being and currently just using

run_shell_command()

to get the behavior I need. It's not ideal, but I get that Terraform is still in early development.

I'm able to pull in

file

targets when they're marked as dependencies on

terraform_deployment

or

terraform_module

, at least on latest, will retry on 2.21.1

terraform_deployment(name="deploy0", root_module=":r")
terraform_var_files(name="vars", sources=["a.tfvars"])
terraform_module(name="r", dependencies=[":f"])
file(name="f", source="f.txt")

Oooo. Ok. Maybe this can work. And by latest, do you mean

2.22.X

?

literally

main

lol, which is slightly ahead of

release_2.23.0.dev2

. But it also looks like it works on

2.21.0

Looks like the main issue is that the Lambda Zip is placed in the

dist/

dir and pants will ignore it no matter what I do.

ohhh, that makes sense. And normally you'd do

pants package my_aws_lambda

. Seems we haven't added

package_dependencies

for deps that need to be packaged first. I thought that maybe

experimental_wrap_as_resources

would work, but alas, seems we don't get resources either. I've added both of those to the stability tracker. For now, you can escape the deployment sandbox and grab the packaged object by absolute path. But

run_shell_command

probably makes more sense.

Yeah. For now I'll stick with

run_shell_command

. It'll be sweet when

package_dependencies

are supported with Terraform!
