bind
None bind(name, actual=None)DEPRECATED: see Consider removing bind for a long discussion of its issues and alternatives. bind() is not be available in Bzlmod.
Gives a target an alias in the //external package.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
name
|
string;
required The label under '//external' to serve as the alias name |
actual
|
string; or None;
default is NoneThe real label to be aliased |
register_execution_platforms
None register_execution_platforms(*platform_labels)@ or //). See toolchain resolution for more information. Patterns that expand to multiple targets, such as :all, will be registered in lexicographical order by name.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
platform_labels
|
sequence of strings;
required The target patterns to register. |
register_toolchains
None register_toolchains(*toolchain_labels)@ or //). See toolchain resolution for more information. Patterns that expand to multiple targets, such as :all, will be registered in lexicographical order by target name (not the name of the toolchain implementation).
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
toolchain_labels
|
sequence of strings;
required The target patterns to register. |
workspace
None workspace(name)This function can only be used in a WORKSPACE file and must be declared before all other functions in the WORKSPACE file. Each WORKSPACE file should have a workspace function.
Sets the name for this workspace. Workspace names should be a Java-package-style description of the project, using underscores as separators, e.g., github.com/bazelbuild/bazel should use com_github_bazelbuild_bazel.
This name is used for the directory that the repository's runfiles are stored in. For example, if there is a runfile foo/bar in the local repository and the WORKSPACE file contains workspace(name = 'baz'), then the runfile will be available under mytarget.runfiles/baz/foo/bar. If no workspace name is specified, then the runfile will be symlinked to bar.runfiles/foo/bar.
Remote repository rule names must be valid workspace names. For example, you could have maven_jar(name = 'foo'), but not maven_jar(name = 'foo%bar'), as Bazel would attempt to write a WORKSPACE file for the maven_jar containing workspace(name = 'foo%bar').
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
name
|
string;
required the name of the workspace. Names must start with a letter and can only contain letters, numbers, underscores, dashes, and dots. |
