do BUILD file macros exist in pants v2? if i have a macro that expands to >1 target, is there a way to replicate that in pants v2?

CAFO and object still work, but https://pants.readme.io/v2.0/docs/macros is the preferred approach

oh! didn't realize

build_file_aliases()

was still accepted!

Yes, we kept it because there’s no better alternative to

objects

and CAFO yet. The new macros mechanism isn’t a full replacement But we’ll start erroring when you use

targets

with

BFA

i don't actually want to continue using context-aware object factories but it is very useful that they still exist

Nor do I. But yeah we still need them for

python_requirements

. Until we have something more powerful, they’ll stick around

thanks!!

@average-vr-56795 did a great job with it!
