Hey 👋 , I have a question about probably an edge case, if you have

pytest

as a dependency in your

requirements.txt

and you import

pytest

in your test files or

conftest.py

so it is discovered by dependency inference, what pytest distribution is used for the tests ? the global defined in

pants.toml

or the one in the user defined lock file ? I know It's confusing adding

pytest

as a dependency, but the main use case is for IDE support, ie: when running

./pants export //:poetry

, I'd like to have

black

,

isort

,

pytest

, ... exported too

It will use the version in requirements.txt I believe

ex: in a

python_test

use pytest as a tool in a

python_source

use pytest as a dep ?

https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/12449. Not at all weird, it makes sense to do this - it's a shame Pants does not support this better

It will use the version in requirements.txt I believe

It will install Pytest twice (bleh), then I can't quite remember how Pex handles merging the two PEXes when there's the same dep. I want to say it goes with the first one encountered..
