My

python_library

depends on a

resource

that I'm hoping the

pex_binary

target will package correctly as a package resource during packaging. If my library reads this resource via

pkg_resources

tooling will my

python_test

target be able to call the library code that reads the package, or is the code under test not "packaged" at point of testing? This currently isn't working but I'm not sure if it's configuration a error or I'm expecting this to work when it's not going to

I don’t know the answer to that, but my expectation would be the same, that it ought to work, as long as your python source has a dependency on the resource, it should be available during test as well.

Thanks @curved-television-6568 I'm just getting to grips with debugging the sandboxes. I see that my sandbox contains my

projects

directory (where my service lives) and my

library

directory where my resource live (along side library code) Does this imply that it's just copying the required directories into the sandbox and testing them from there? When I build my pex binary those library files get put in the root of the zip.

I believe so (copying the required files, I would say, as it would not copy over sibling files that is not part of the transitive depedency graph for the test). Not sure about where the files end up in the pex zip, though..

Ok sorted this out, thanks for the help. I needed to put the resources in a subfolder.
