Hi, with the

@pypi_base

decorator I can point a package to a local directory (which works), but subsequent changes to the package do not show up (the resolver seems to think the package is cached). Is there a way to make the decorator pick up future changes to the package, similar to how

develop=True

works?

hum. I don’t think there is in either bleeding edge or regular. You are using the extension one right?

yes, we're using the extension one

let me think about it a bit. We can’t go the route of “use stuff in this directory” because that makes it not reproducible but I could make it check. In the meantime, one workaround is to force resolve the enviornment again.

i guess symlinking it won't work since the package is also in s3?

correct. The package gets built and uploaded to S3

Correct, and we want changes to the package to show up on subsequent flow runs. We're trying to test changes to a dependency locally without having to republish our package each time

ok, so you would be fine with a solution wher ethe package gets built and pushed to S3 on changes?

yeah.. technically you could put the code along with METAFLOW_CODE_URL and just cache the dependencies as usual (dependencies of the local package)

@dry-beach-38304, I tried the force resolve path, doesn't work. Code changes to the local package are not reflected in the flow

Let me take a look and try this out. I had not thought of this specific use case (it’s valid just hasn’t been thought about).
