In bazel land, I have a written rules that will grab external dependencies, and associate them as dependencies for whichever label I’m building as needed.
Is there a way to do the same thing in pants?

03/04/2023, 7:41 PMIs that what you mean?

03/04/2023, 7:42 PMOr by artifact do you mean blob - not Python package dependency artifact? Like a text file or something.

You would depend on a resource.

03/04/2023, 7:45 PMThose sorts of deps are ~obviously not inferrable. You have to go old school and edit the
