A package from a third-party Go module.
You should not explicitly create this target in BUILD files. Instead, add a `go_mod
` target where you have your `go.mod
` file, which will generate `go_third_party_package
` targets for you.
Make sure that your `go.mod
` and `go.sum
` files include this package's module.
Backend: <span style="color: purple"><code>pants.backend.experimental.go</code></span>
## <code>import_path</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>str</code></span> <span style="color: green">required</span>
Import path in Go code to import this package.
This field should not be overridden; use the value from target generation.
## <code>dependencies</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
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 `./pants dependencies
` or `./pants peek
` on this target to get the final result.
See [Targets and BUILD files](🔗) for more about how addresses are formed, including for generated targets. You can also run `./pants list ::
` to find all addresses in your project, or `./pants 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.
## <code>description</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>str | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
A human-readable description of the target.
Use `./pants list --documented ::
` to see all targets with descriptions.
## <code>tags</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
Arbitrary strings to describe a target.
For example, you may tag some test targets with 'integration_test' so that you could run `./pants --tag='integration_test' test ::
` to only run on targets with that tag.
