Hi all, is there a way for

./pants tailor

to pick up newly built objects and add them to the BUILD files dynamically? i.e. I build a separate shared object and I want it to get picked up by pants so it gets included in the resulting pex

Added as a

resource

target, you mean?

yup!

Hi! You could write a

tailor

plugin. What heuristic would you use? For example, is it based on a file name?

Yes, filename based

awesome, there's lots of precedent for how to do that. See https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/plugins-overview in general for how to get set up with a plugin Then you'll basically copy and paste something like this file 🙂 https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/main/src/python/pants/backend/codegen/protobuf/tailor.py You can honestly probably skip most the docs about the Rules API and monkey-see-monkey-do - this is one of the more cut-and-paste plugins

Awesome, I’ll give this a go. Thank you @hundreds-father-404!
