Why is pant having issues inferring this

.api_models

import (I'm getting "Pants cannot infer owner" warning): https://github.com/st2sandbox/st2/blob/pants/pylint_plugins/api_models_test.py#L25 Here

/pylint_plugins

is a source root, and

/pylint_plugins/api_models_test.py

is using a relative import for

/pylint_plugins/api_models.py

:

from . import api_models

Does the dep inference not like relative imports?

I mean, you can test that hypothesis in a heartbeat - right?

Yeah. It turns out pants needed one style of imports, because it added that directory on the PYTHONPATH, but running pytest directly used a different import (w/o the dir on PYTHONPATH). When the dir is on PYTHONPATH, I have to do

import api_models

, when it is not on PYTHON_PATH, I have to do

from . import api_models

. I did a

try/except ImportError

to do both.
