Hey there, is there any update/workaround for this particular issue? https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/11386. Basically, I'm trying to include a

python_distribution

dependency to my tests but I'm encountering errors.

ProcessExecutionFailure: Process 'Building pytest_runner.pex' failed with exit code 1.
stdout:

stderr:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    exit_value = self._wrap_coverage(self._wrap_profiling, self._execute)

    But this pex had no 'SQLAlchemy' distributions.

but checking with

./pants --tag=e2e dependencies --transitive ::

i can see that everything should be working fine

Thanks for all your help.

Hi! So with the link to https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/11386, I take it you do not want to use

runtime_package_dependencies

? Which will simply build the wheel, not install it into the env

If the problem is like that issue's OP, then the wheel needs to be installed to get normal access to its

entry_point

metadata.

I'm running into the same issues, is there a way to manually tell pants that it should include certain distributions in that pex?
