Weird one: I've got a test. It has a dependency that I've specified and is working as expected (i.e. I see it when I do

./pants dependencies path/to/my_test.py

). When I do

./pants dependencies path/to/depended_on_thing

, I see the correct dependencies I'd expect there. However, when I do

./pants dependencies --transitive path/to/my_test.py

, I don't see the correct dependency of

depended_on_thing

. Apologies for the genericized version of this, but any ideas?

Huh...

is working as expected

Are things building correctly, like

./pants test

? It's only project introspection via

dependencies

that is behaving incorrectly? (Trying to narrow down the scope)

I don't see the correct dependency of depended_on_thing.

it's missing?

Nope, it's complaining about being unable to import something. So I realized it wasn't picking things up because that module is indeed missing when I do

--transitive

So an error in dep inference?

Seems like it.

hmm, that's unusual. To be sure I understand, you're saying that for A->B->C the

dependencies

of A include B, the

dependencies

of B include C, but the

dependencies --transitive

of A do not include C ?

Correct

OK, so maybe not a dep inference bug but something else

A, because of how things are set up, uses

importlib

to do the actual import of B (so it's manually listed as a dependency in

overrides

in the BUILD file). B directly imports C.
