pants VS depchecker

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say something like "older build systems"? I don't think any of the things you listed are "modern". Which isn't a criticism of their legacy! They have been very useful for a long time, and that's to be applauded. But they have huge problems, which is a big part of why newer systems have been created.

FWIW, I have been using pants[0] (v2) for a little under a year. We chose it after also evaluating it and bazel (but not nix, for better or worse). I think it's really really great! Also painful in some ways (as is inevitably the case with any software). And of course it's nearly impossible to entirely stomp out "genrules" use cases. But it's much easier to get much closer to true hermeticity, and I'm a big fan of that.

Does pants/bazel can help me?

Hyper-large tech companies managing hyper-large monorepos using Bazel (google), buck (Facebook), please (thought machine), pants (Twitter, Foursquare & Square) enjoy them but also have a lot of resources devoted to running and maintaining it.

Yeah there's definitely some alternatives out there. Pants is another one that has a lot of traction.

You should look into pex, or it’s parent build system pants. A PEX (Python EXecutable) file can package up all your code including dependencies and run on another machine of similar OS with just an available compatible interpreter.

We don't have the CD yet, but I think what I put in place counts as simple CI (even if incomplete)? Every push & PR trigger an azure pipeline, which runs pants. This install the dependencies from the lockfile, run some linters, uses DVC to pull the data necessary for tests, and run unit tests (mypy check is deactivated until I solve a weird error). Basically the same script runs on laptops cross-platform (one of us uses Max, one Ubuntu with GPU, one Ubuntu with CPU, the scripts runs on every platform). The only difference with CI is the installation of Pants and the gestion of Cache (needs to be downloaded in CI so it takes ~3min in CI versus 20 seconds on my laptop).

This has also been recently integrated in pants.

Therefore, one workaround I found to reduce the bundle size is with the use of a library named **depcheck**. We can install the package by

Another package we use for optimization helps us generate a list of unused npm packages. Then we manually go through the list and remove everything unnecessary, thereby reducing the project's weight and organising things.

While we’re on the subject of dead code detection, let’s briefly discuss how to ensure we don’t have unused dependencies in our project. Let’s use depcheck, a tool for analyzing the dependencies in a project. It can tell us:

I know it has been asked before, but depcheck doesn't seem to work for me at all. It gives me a ton of false alerts aparts from having to configure it for "config-only" libs like babel, eslint etc.

You can use depcheck for that https://www.npmjs.com/package/depcheck no need to do that manually.

Try npx depcheck - https://www.npmjs.com/package/depcheck

You can follow the packages below: depcheck unimported

There is a module called depcheck. I have never used it but probably it’s what you are looking for
