bazelbuild/bazel@6a8ddb7 changed the prefix for runfiles from the main
repo when Bzlmod is enabled. Because all uses of rlocation were
hardcoded to use "bazel_skylib", tests requiring runfiles stopped
working with Bzlmod enabled. This commit updates calls to rlocation to
instead use the TEST_WORKSPACE env var to get the repo name.
The current implementation misses the runfiles from the binary itself
since the attribute for it is called `src` not `srcs` and it makes use
of the discouraged `collect_data` and `collect_default` parameters which
depend on hardcoded attribute names.
native_binary() wraps a pre-built binary or script
in a *_binary rule interface. Rules like genrule
can tool-depend on it, and it can be executed with
"bazel run". This rule can also augment the binary
with runfiles.
native_test() is similar, but creates a testable
rule instead of a binary rule.
Fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-skylib/issues/148
RELNOTES[NEW]: The new `native_binary()` and `native_test()` rules let you wrap a pre-built binary in a binary and test rule respectively.
