Pants

Is there a way to get the versions of packages pants used to run a certain goal? (in this particular case, tests)

No worries! We recommend using lockfiles: <https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-third-party-dependencies#lockfiles>

I just wanted to get the answer for a particular test :slightly_smiling_face:

You can use `./pants test --no-process-cleanup test --force path/to/tests.py`. It will log the path to the sandbox, then inspect the `requirements.pex` I think using `unzip` and looking at the `PEX-INFO` file

Those lockfiles look appealing right about now, I can just run it now and (provided my mac doesn’t catch on fire), it should be done by tomorrow morning :slightly_smiling_face:

Sorry I'm not following - why would it take days for the lockfile to generate?

I don’t know, I tried to run it, I stopped it after 15 minutes where it was still doing `Resolve transitive targets`
