Hi all. I don’t know, I find the Pants documentation about where to put things, and what the syntax looks like, very confusing. I’m trying to add

extra_requirements

so I can get pytest to use the requests module with something like this

extra-requirements=["requests==2.28.1"]

in my

pants.toml

file. But that doesn’t address the problem that the request module isn’t found when I write the test. :( What is the syntax and where does it go?

sorry for the trouble. have you seen https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-third-party-dependencies ?

Thanks @witty-crayon-22786 , that helped a lot. I’m still confused about the syntax I mentioned, but at the moment I’ve got bigger fish to fry. 🙂

the

extra-requirements

is more for stuff like pytest plugins, for example, in our repo it looks like this:

[pytest]
version = "pytest==7.2.0"
extra_requirements.add = [
  "pygments>=2.13.0",
  "pytest-icdiff"
]

Maybe you can help me with something else. If I’ve got a directory structure where

project

and

tests

are siblings, how do I inform test code how to import modules from the

project

folder?

note the

.add

@polite-garden-50641, thanks! Does that snippet go in the

pants.toml

file (not

pyproject.toml

)?

The key concept is source roots. As long as those are configured, Pants will be able to find and knit together imports without you having to do anything special
