Q8 When I run ` pants test tests common tests` pytest gets executed but all tests immediately fails with import errors because there is no 3rd party dependencies installed `tests common BUILD` simply consists of `python tests name= tests ` and its siblings include `conftest py` and `test xxx py` stuffs How do I let pants install 3rd party dependencies for tests

it could be simpler if you define requirements txt under `3rdparty` folder at the root of your repo Check pants own repository This is a standard location known to pants You wouldn t need to mention `requirements txt` everywhere this way <https github com pantsbuild pants tree main 3rdparty python>
