https://www.pantsbuild.org/stable/docs/python/overview/lockfiles#lockfiles-for-tools is there some way to specify the resolve for pytest in a BUILD? we have a monorepo with different components each with their own resolves. one component needs features from pytest 8, but pants only supplies 7.0.1 this component's resolve specifies pytest 8, we use nix so the cli version of pytest matches, but when

pants test

is run (in ci) it uses v7

Hmm, I guess the resolve for a

python_test

target is the one the test’s dependencies are resolved from, not the one

pytest

is resolved from.

Is there any reason you need to have Pytest 7 be present? If you are OK with using Pytest 8 for everything then you can use a custom resolve for pytest as in the link you shared above

Oh, good point, if you don’t need pytest 7 specifically, and you’re only using it because it’s the built in default in Pants, then you can simply upgrade to 8 across the board, and problem solved.

that's what i've done in the end, luckily it was a smooth transition to pytest 8 for all the components
