I'm working on adding Pants to another repo now and hitting a snag. If I run the dependencies goal then I'm not seeing the files get included properly, nor any third party dependencies.

./pants dependencies --type=source-and-3rdparty src/mitol-django-mail:mail                                                                                                       
src/mitol-django-mail/manage.py:mail

The repository and branch is at https://github.com/mitodl/ol-django/tree/putting_on_pants

If that’s up to date, looks like you’re missing a couple BUILD files. * Root level, with the macro

python_requirements()

to get 3rd party reqs working * Some subdirectories, like

ol-django/src/mitol-django-common/mitol/common/

. You have

python_library()

in the parent, but it’s using the default

sources=['*.py', '!*_test.py', '!test_*.py']

, so it doesn’t recurse. You can either explicitly set sources and use

**

, or use that same pattern from the other repo of 1 build file per directory, with usually nothing more than this in it:

python_library()
python_tests(name="tests")

Right, thanks 👍

At the very least, an

init

script to create these for you is a no-brainer. 🙂
