A few questions that I had regarding the node codegen: 1. made the node_thrift_library target type which is essentially inheriting NodeModule and nothing more. 2. Now in the

apache_thrift_node_gen.py

when I override the execute_codegen, I essentially just create the default package.json and the yarn.lock and then just call the

super().execute_codegen(target, target_workdir)

, am I missing something here, I was looking at similar py_gen and java_gen in the pants/backend/codegen and they both essentially call the super's exec_codegen and I feel that doing that should take care of the code generation however, I feel like that's too easy to be true. 3. How can I check whether a default package.json and yarn.lock was specified or not, is there a way to get it from the target? Disclaimer: I'm kinda dim as you probably witnessed earlier.

re: 3) not sure what you mean here.

solved.
