@witty-crayon-22786 @average-vr-56795 any idea why a sources snapshot would return the empty digest on a target i've created with

self.add_to_build_file()

in a

ConsoleRuleTestBase

? i'm going to have to table working on this for now, but the

@console_rule

itself works, and the testing should too, i just haven't had time to dive into how to get my file contents into the sources snapshot. https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/7419

Can you point me at a call to

.target

that’s the one that’s failing in that PR?

the command line i posted with the

-k

will drop you into a pdb prompt which should show a mock target successfully created and accessible within a rule, but the sources snapshot is the empty digest

Aha, there’s a comment on the PR!

yes!

My guess is it’s because you’re using

create_workdir_file

to make the thrift file, where you want to be using

create_file

hmmmmm
