#17511 Dependees does not return files dependent on removed modules Issue created by njgrisafi Describe the bug When removing a whole Python module Pants`dependees` does not return dependent files. This seems to be a behavior change between version 2.7 -> 2.8. I also tested on the latest version 2.14 and it seems to be a warning now:

10:28:00.15 [WARN] Pants cannot infer owners for the following imports in the target app/module_1/example.py:

  * app.module_2.example.test (line: 1)

For example,, given this module:

app/
  module_1/
      __init__.py
      example.py (imports module_2.example)
      BUILD
  module_2/
      __init__.py
      example.py
      BUILD

When removing

app/module_2/

, add changes in git and then running

./pants dependees --changed-since=HEAD

does not return

app/module_1/example.py

in dependee results. Pants version 2.7 (last known working version) 2.8 (first known version with issue) 2.10 (current version) OS Both MacOS and Linux Additional info Please see example repo with predefined version branches: • https://github.com/njgrisafi/pants-example/tree/27 (2.7) • https://github.com/njgrisafi/pants-example/tree/28 (2.8) Checkout one of the follow version branches above and perform the following test: 1.

rm -rf app/module_2/

2.

git add --all

3.

./pants dependees --changed-since=HEAD

Confirm the dependees output between versions. 2.7 should return

module_1

and 2.8 will not. pantsbuild/pants
