If a

python_test

target depends a

python_distribution

target (a packagable target) via the

depenedencies

field instead of the

runtime_package_dependencies

field[1], will the

python_test

transitively depend on everything the

python_distribution

depends on (like the deps inferred from entry_points)? [1] https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-test-goal#testing-your-packaging-pipeline I want to depend (well, actually infer a dep from within a plugin) on the underlying code without actually generating the wheel.

don’t you find this out quickly by trying it? 🙂

yeah. I had to ask the question, and then think through where I could try it out. Now I've got my answer: Yes, it gets transitive deps on the underlying code.

I suspected as much.. but wasn’t sure 😉
