Hi, when I use pants to run unit test, I used to do like

./pants test xxx:all_test

And there would be a

BUILD

file under

xxx

like this:

target(
    name='all_test',
    dependencies=[
        ':aaa',
        ':bbb',
    ],
)

and then it will look into

aaa

and

bbb

recursively to find

python_tests

but in this newer version (2.10) of pants when I do the same thing, I will get this warning:

22:51:00.65 [WARN] No applicable files or targets matched. The `test` goal works with these target types:

  * junit_test
  * python_test
  * scala_junit_test
  * scalatest_test

However, you only specified targets with these target types:

  * target

and it doesn’t run any test. What should I do to make

BUILD

files behave like they did in the past?

Generally you shouldn't need "aggregator targets" like this

but if I have two big group of tests and want to test them separately, is it possible to do that?

yeah I also ran into this.

lol I’m not alone

If the groups of tests aren't clearly differentiated by directory, then you can also use tags:
