All other test_deps targets implicitly require the root BUILD file
for the `license` target for their default_applicable_licenses;
therefore, users should only depend on the root test_deps target.
* Wrap bzl_library in a macro so that we can force off some
global attribures that are never appropriate for BUILD files.
Removes:
- *_compatible_with
- features
* cdate
* linty
* linty
* more lint
For example, if you try to match `*a*` against `ab`, then we check:
```
left = ""
middle = "a"
right = ""
middle in name[len(left):len(name)-len(right)]:
"a" in "ab"[len(""):len(name)-len("")]:
"a" in "ab"[0:-0]
"a" in "" => False
```
The problem here is that negative numbers in python index from the back, but -0 is not a negative number, so it always results in the empty string.
Previously, I was getting the error
`Expected external/_main~toolchains~toolchain_sdk/usr/bin/clang++ to start with one of ["external/_main~toolchains~toolchain_sdk//", "bazel-out/k8-dbg/bin/external/_main~toolchains~toolchain_sdk/"]`
A common point of confusion I see around `run_binary` is that it's hard coded to only expand `$(location` values which in codebases I work in are otherwise completely eliminated due to it being described as "legacy"
> location: A synonym for either execpath or rootpath, depending on the attribute being expanded. This is legacy pre-Starlark behavior and not recommended unless you really know what it does for a particular rule. See [#2475](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/2475#issuecomment-339318016) for details.
If `execpath` is used instead as the appropriate alternative, the rule does no do any expansion and fails the action. This change adds support for expanding all available patterns whenever they're provided.
All actions which use tool or executable for which is not clear if it comes from a toolchain, must set a `toolchain` parameter ( migration of Automatic Exec Groups).
As we discussed internally, I've modified actions so that it's recognised that tools are not from the toolchain. Hence, there will not be an error which states `Couldn't identify if tools are from implicit dependencies or a toolchain. Please set the toolchain parameter. If you're not using a toolchain, set it to 'None'.`. Hence, no need for the toolchain parameter.
While build settings allow for much cleaner flag and setting definitions
than `--define`, they have the major drawback that rules need to provide
dedicated support for them, which isn't the case for native and most
community-maintained rules.
This change attempts to bridge this gap by optionally exposing the value
of the common build setting types as Make variables to rules that depend
on them via the `toolchains` attribute: If the new `make_variable`
attribute is set, the value of the flag or setting is available as a
Make variable with that.
Consistency with pre-defined Make variables is enforced by limiting the
character set for `make_variable` values to `[A-Z0-9_]`. The new
attribute is also only added to int- and string-valued build settings as
the other types lack a canonical stringification.

I ran into an issue where I had a `build_test` that was only compatible with a particular platform. I had annotated the target with `target_compatible_with` but continued to get builds on the incompatible platform. This came down to my `bazel test //...` invocation picking up the `{name}_{idx}__deps` targets and building the dependency anyway. This change updates these targets to account for newer common attributes and tags them as manual so they're only built when the user facing test target is built.
After some thought, I have to say that forcing a local strategy for
copy_file/copy_directory is inappropriate. The point of a sandbox is to
catch hermeticity bugs; disabling the sandbox may be useful for
performance, but it's up to the user to do it if they trust us - and
they can do it via flag. The default should be paranoia and safety.
And on the subject of strategies - using a genrule to create an empty
directory fails in environments where genrules run remote by default
(and thus, copy_directory tests fail). We could, of course, set local=1,
but that disables the sandbox and causes scary warnings. Instead, add a
proper empty_directory rule to test with.
copy_file currently includes the copied file in its runfiles even if it is not executable, which makes every rule depending on it have the file as a runfile (e.g. a `cc_library` depending on a copied header file via the hdrs attribute).
In an ideal world, according to https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/skylark/rules.html#runfiles-features-to-avoid, `copy_file` would not need to specify any runfiles in the `DefaultInfo` it returns - specifying `files` should suffice. However, due to the existence of rules with legacy behavior, this would break compatibility (actually, already with `sh_test` in skylib's unit tests).
As a compromise that preserves compatibility with legacy rules but nevertheless cleans up the runfiles tree of depending rules, use the `data_runfiles` attribute of `DefaultInfo` if the copied file is not executable.
Followup to #330: remove the wrapper macro and export the rule directly; the macro
does not serve any useful function. As a side effect, this fixes the inability to
set tags etc., since the macro did not support **kwargs.
This attribute is incorrectly being built in the host configuration when
(like any test) it will run in the target configuration. This means that
cross compilation will be broken and options that differ between host
and target (e.g. `NDEBUG`) will not be as set by the user.
I confirmed that without this fix, a test binary with `assert(false)`
passes when run under `native_test`.
Additionally, the use of `allow_single_file` precludes rules that return
multiple files in their DefaultInfo (like `py_binary`). Instead, we can
use `allow_files` and access via `ctx.executable`.
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.
* copy_file: Add parameter to allow symlinks
This change adds a new parameter `allow_symlinks` to `copy_file` that
allows the action to create a symlink instead of doing an expensive
copy if the execution platform (host) allows it.
Updates #248
* Update docs
* Refactor `is_executable` into attribute
* Fix typo
* s/_impl/_copy_file_impl/
