I'm testing 2.14 and in my repo, I have a plugins for pants. Now, pants tells me it can't infer owners for some imports like pants.engine.fs.Digest and so on. Should I add pantsbuild.pants in my requirements.txt ?

Do you have a target like

pants_requirements(name="pants", resolve="pants-plugins")

in your build file under your plugin directory?

I don't , just the regular python_requirements

Ah, yeah, I think that's one of the early steps of setting up plugins

Ah, I thought it wasn't mandatory

definitely not mandatory - only a best practice to treat your plugin code like production quality, that you want to run linters etc on it

ok but if I'm not including that, how can I fix the error I got?

You'd have to set a whole bunch of

# pants: no-infer-dep

or whatever it is

[python-infer].unowned_dependency_behavior = 'ignore'

I think

I'm a big fan of the unknown dependencies being warnings (with option to elevate to error) in the newest releases. It caught a few places in our repo where folks hadn't declared direct requirements properly and were grabbing things transitively.

it works with the pants_requirements. I'll keep it 🙂
