Can somebody give me a hint on how to generate a pytest lockfile with specific versions of dependencies? We’re using some plugins for pytest & django (i.e.

pytest-django

) which are loaded when pytest starts. When I generate a lockfile using

./pants generate-lockfile

I get

pytest-django==3.10.0

but

pytest-django==4.1.0

is what I need and what is written in our

requirements-dev.txt

actually 🤔

Does this help? https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.11/docs/reference-pytest#section-extra-requirements

Thank you, I guess so 🤔 do you mean

extra_requirements

for the

pants.toml

is the correct place?

There are 2 ways to have what you want: • in

pants.toml

add the extra requirements you want for pytest:

[pytest]
version = "pytest>=7.0,<8.0"
args = ["-ra -q -vv --no-header"]
extra_requirements.add = ["pytest-icdiff", "pygments", "pytest-django==4.10.0"]
lockfile = "monorepo/build-support/lockfiles/pytest.txt"

• or simply add

pytest-django

(added in

requirements.txt

) as a dependency to you

python_test

target

Thanks you two, I tried the latter which didn’t work. That’s why I was asking. Thanks! 🙏
