hello team I hope you are doing I am looking to build a plugin that will achieve that update tags for a specific resolver so afterward I can filter is there anywhere, anyone who can help me with that

Hey Florent, what have you tried?

the regex to filter by resolves mostly something like

bin/pants --print-stacktrace \
            --filter-address-regex=-resolver_one \
            --filter-address-regex=-resolver_two check ::

I'm still not exactly sure what you're trying to achieve. You mentioned tags, like these?https://www.pantsbuild.org/stable/docs/using-pants/advanced-target-selection#tags-annotating-targets

yes but we want to have the tags apply only when it is a specific resolve

Okay, there might be an XY problem going on, but assuming that's not the case - how many instances of this would you see in your code?

what do you mean by instances here ?

I guess this? "multiple resolves and too many apps" - what does that mean tangibly?

its a migration process we do here. We migrate from sql alchemy 1.4 to 2 some apps are using a default resolver the one we want to move to 2 are using another resolver As intermediate steps thoses apps are using both to run the test But for the check as there is blocker we need to disable the check on a specific resovler but keep the other one running

Okay, I don’t exactly follow - but it sounds like

__defaults__

or a macro would be the solution here. Almost like a conditional macro, or a macro that tags based on resolve conditions (I still might be misunderstanding what you mean, seeing a BUILD file example would likely clear it up)

can you show me small examples on what you mention here ? I tried those solutions already

Can you give me an example BUILD file or 2 BUILD targets: 1 you want to run, the other you don't
