Hey Pants Team, curious if there's a way to have the BUILD files changed as input to a

goal_rule

. Using

targets: Targets

doesn't seem to include BUILD files.

Specs

? And filter the file specs to

BUILD

files?

use case you can run

./pants my-goal app/BUILD

and we can inspect the options on that file

oh, well you can certainly get the

BUILD

contents. Getting the semantic contents may be a different affair (post-macro targets/fields/etc...)

yeah at this point I just want the input to show in the plugin goal right now it's just

12:22:21.29 [INFO] stdout: "Targets([])"

files = await Get(SpecsPaths, Specs, specs)

and then

specified_build_files = FilespecMatcher(
            includes=[os.path.join("**", p) for p in build_file_options.patterns],
            excludes=build_file_options.ignores,
        ).matches(files)

that looks like the right path but how do we accept that as input to the plugin?

Combine with

--changed-since

?

so you're saying

/pants my-goal --changed-since=origin/master app/BUILD

?

• Make

my-goal

take in

Specs

and filter just to

BUILD

files using the above code • Run it using

./pants --changed-since my-goal

targets: Targets,
    spec: Specs,

seeing some rule graph errors

Do you also want

targets

?

ahhhh I see we can't have both it's either or

You can use

specs

to get `targets`:

Get(
        FilteredTargets,
        Specs,
        specs,
    )

this is perfect thank you @bitter-ability-32190 this was very helpful
