junit_tests

---

Generate a junit_test target for each file in the sources field.

Backend: pants.backend.experimental.java

---

tags

field.type_hint

required

Arbitrary strings to describe a target.

For example, you may tag some test targets with 'integration_test' so that you could run scie-pants-linux-x86_64 --tag='integration_test' test :: to only run on targets with that tag.

description

field.type_hint

required

A human-readable description of the target.

Use scie-pants-linux-x86_64 list --documented :: to see all targets with descriptions.

sources

field.type_hint

default: ('*Test.java',)

A list of files and globs that belong to this target.

Paths are relative to the BUILD file's directory. You can ignore files/globs by prefixing them with !.

Example: sources=['*Test.java', '!TestIgnore.java']

timeout

field.type_hint

required

A timeout (in seconds) used by each test file belonging to this target.

If unset, will default to [test].timeout_default; if that option is also unset, then the test will never time out. Will never exceed [test].timeout_maximum. Only applies if the option --test-timeouts is set to true (the default).

extra_env_vars

field.type_hint

required

Additional environment variables to include in test processes.

Entries are strings in the form ENV_VAR=value to use explicitly; or just ENV_VAR to copy the value of a variable in Pants's own environment.

This will be merged with and override values from [test].extra_env_vars.

dependencies

field.type_hint

required

Addresses to other targets that this target depends on, e.g. ['helloworld/subdir:lib', 'helloworld/main.py:lib', '3rdparty:reqs#django'].

This augments any dependencies inferred by Pants, such as by analyzing your imports. Use scie-pants-linux-x86_64 dependencies or scie-pants-linux-x86_64 peek on this target to get the final result.

See https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.16/docs/targets for more about how addresses are formed, including for generated targets. You can also run scie-pants-linux-x86_64 list :: to find all addresses in your project, or scie-pants-linux-x86_64 list dir to find all addresses defined in that directory.

If the target is in the same BUILD file, you can leave off the BUILD file path, e.g. :tgt instead of helloworld/subdir:tgt. For generated first-party addresses, use ./ for the file path, e.g. ./main.py:tgt; for all other generated targets, use :tgt#generated_name.

You may exclude dependencies by prefixing with !, e.g. ['!helloworld/subdir:lib', '!./sibling.txt']. Ignores are intended for false positives with dependency inference; otherwise, simply leave off the dependency from the BUILD file.

jdk

field.type_hint

required

The major version of the JDK that this target should be built with. If not defined, will default to [jvm].default_source_jdk.

experimental_provides_types

field.type_hint

required

Signals that the specified types should be fulfilled by these source files during dependency inference.

This allows for specific types within packages that are otherwise inferred as belonging to jvm_artifact targets to be unambiguously inferred as belonging to this first-party source.

If a given type is defined, at least one source file captured by this target must actually provide that symbol.

resolve

field.type_hint

required

The resolve from [jvm].resolves to use when compiling this target.

If not defined, will default to [jvm].default_resolve.
