Question

Hi all hopefully this is a dumb question I m having trouble with a simple example of importing a JSON file defined in a `resource` rule into a test I ll post the code and test output in the thread but `pkgutil get data util test json ` always returns `None` A related question Is there a better way to debug whether the file is included in the package other than inferring from the output of `pants peek` Thanks

I think you need to add an empty ` init py` for `pkgutil` to work here see last sentences <https docs python org 3 library pkgutil html pkgutil get data|https docs python org 3 library pkgutil html pkgutil get data>

On the related question try ` pants filedeps util convert test` <https www pantsbuild org docs reference filedeps|https www pantsbuild org docs reference filedeps>

yes adding ` init py` fixed it thank you and great I ll take a look at filedeps

quiet-evening-25363 · Answer

not a huge deal but when I run `filedeps` the json file is not included even though it seems like it might be based on the wording in the docs Is that the expected behavior ``` python main pants filedeps util convert test 03 34 13 84 INFO Initializing scheduler 03 34 13 98 INFO Scheduler initialized util BUILD util convert test py```

Did you try ` transitive` it is one level of indirection away in the `resource` target
