#21164 GLOBAL.plugins resolution behaves differently when using PANTS_SOURCE Issue created by cburroughs To use

pants.backend.url_handlers.s3

one is advised to add

botocore

to `GLOBAL.plugins`: pants/src/python/pants/backend/url_handlers/s3/register.py Line 33 in </pantsbuild/pants/commit/7b2dcad1b9649b9005ba9683d1a0e09e29ef5127|7b2dcad> However, how

GLOBAL.plugins

works is different when

PANTS_SOURCE

is used. With this sample

pants.toml

[GLOBAL]
pants_version = "2.21.0"
plugins=[
    "botocore~=1.34.138"
]

backend_packages = [
  "pants.backend.url_handlers.s3"
]

ERROR: ResolutionImpossible: for help visit <https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/topics/dependency-resolution/#dealing-with-dependency-conflicts>
 
 The conflict is caused by:
     botocore 1.34.143 depends on urllib3<1.27 and >=1.25.4; python_version < "3.10"
     botocore 1.34.142 depends on urllib3<1.27 and >=1.25.4; python_version < "3.10"
     botocore 1.34.141 depends on urllib3<1.27 and >=1.25.4; python_version < "3.10"
     botocore 1.34.140 depends on urllib3<1.27 and >=1.25.4; python_version < "3.10"
     botocore 1.34.139 depends on urllib3<1.27 and >=1.25.4; python_version < "3.10"
     botocore 1.34.138 depends on urllib3<1.27 and >=1.25.4; python_version < "3.10"
     The user requested (constraint) urllib3==2.2.2
 
 To fix this you could try to:
 1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
 2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

urllib3

2.2.2

, so the

PANTS_SOURCE

may be "more correct" even though the vanilla invocation appears to work. pantsbuild/pants
