i have 2 targets: a python_source and a pex_binary target. in the pex_binary my generated files are available (and after extracting they are in fact there) with my python_source target they are missing

vcs_version(
    name="version",
    generate_to="src/python/marla/version.py",
    template='version = "{version}"',
)

python_sources(
    name="src_prod",
    dependencies=[
        "./app",
        "./base",
        "./css",
        "./responsive_image",
        "src/python/tuhls/core",
        "src/python/tuhls/dashboard",
        "src/python/tuhls/icons",
    ],
)

python_sources(
    name="src_dev",
    dependencies=[
        ":src_prod",
        "3rdparty/python:reqs#django-extensions",
        "3rdparty/python:reqs#Werkzeug",
    ],
)

python_source(
    name="manage_dev",
    dependencies=[":src_dev"],
    restartable=True,
    source="manage.py",
)

pex_binary(
    name="manage_dev_pex",
    dependencies=[":src_dev"],
    entry_point="manage.py",
    restartable=True,
)

the files get generated in the ./css dependency:

tailwind(
    template_folders=["src/python/marla/app/templates",],
    src="./src/python/marla/css",
    dest="./marla/app/static",
)

i have to relocate the file not to ./src/python/marla/app/static but instead to ./marla/app/static because of this bug: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/21444 and the src/python doesnt get stripped which is the following macro

def tailwind(template_folders, src, dest):
    files(
        name="tw_inputs",
        sources=[
            "main.scss",
            "tailwind.config.js",
        ],
    )

    files(
        name="package_json",
        sources=[
            "package.json",
        ],
    )

    system_binary(
        name="node",
        binary_name="node",
        fingerprint=r"v(19|[2-9][0-9])\..*\..*",
        fingerprint_args=["--version"],
    )

    system_binary(
        name="yarn",
        binary_name="yarn",
        fingerprint=r"1\.([2-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9])\..*",
        fingerprint_args=["--version"],
        fingerprint_dependencies=[":node"],
    )

    adhoc_tool(
        name="node_modules",
        runnable=":yarn",
        runnable_dependencies=[":node"],
        args=["install", "--immutable"],
        output_dependencies=[":package_json"],
        execution_dependencies=[":package_json"],
        output_directories=["node_modules"],
        timeout=300,
    )

    adhoc_tool(
        name="build_tailwind",
        runnable=":yarn",
        runnable_dependencies=[":node"],
        args=[
            "tailwindcss",
            "-i",
            "main.scss",
            "-o",
            "main.css",
            "-c",
            "tailwind.config.js",
            "-m",
        ],
        execution_dependencies=[
            ":tw_inputs",
            ":node_modules",
        ] + template_folders,
        output_dependencies=[
            ":tw_inputs",
            ":node_modules",
        ] + template_folders,
        output_files=["*.css"],
        timeout=300,
    )

    relocated_files(
        name="relocated_output",
        src=src,
        dest=dest,
        files_targets=[":build_tailwind"],
    )

    experimental_wrap_as_resources(
        inputs=[":relocated_output"],
        outputs=["**/*.css"],
    )

i've tried to relocate to the "right" destination while trying the python source target, but with no success. what else could i try? am i right with my thinking that both targets should work the same?

heya, I commented on the issue. TLDR: this is due to

package

using the source root to automatically relocate the python sources, which

run

does not do to preserve the feeling of running from the cwd.

thanks for your comment. i will try to reproduce it and i have to think about it, what it implies and who am i to judge, if its an error? 😄
