README

An example of a pants plugin to work around issue 2566.

Pants python support has a floating dependency on pytest-timeout in its unit test runner. This causes an action-at-a-distance breakage for users who run ./pants test against python_tests targets. More details about the break can be found here.

There are 3 workarounds.

1. Upgrade to pantsbuild.pants>=0.0.59.
2. Add a dependency to each of your python_tests targets to pytest-timeout<1.
3. Add a plugin like the one demonstrated in this repo.

The 3rd option is the focus of this example repo and it allows running ./pants clean-all test tests/ green. To use this solution in your repo you need both the contents of the pants-plugins/ directory and the pythonpath and backend_plugins entries from pants.ini.
