# Bazel builds
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Building with bazel offers a deterministic, faster build, including creating smaller docker images.
|
|
|
|
While bazel works well for small projects, building with kubernetes still has a few challenges. We take the following approach:
|
|
|
|
* We don't yet generate files in bazel - we use external scripts (for now)
|
|
* We vendor our dependencies, rather than relying on gazelle (although actually gazelle works, the issue is when external dependencies like apimachinery include bazel files that confuse gazelle)
|
|
* We strip bazel files from external dependencies, so we don't confuse gazelle
|
|
|
|
## How to run
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make bazel-build
|
|
make bazel-build-cli
|
|
|
|
# To build end to end and upload to s3
|
|
make bazel-upload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Test:
|
|
```
|
|
make bazel-test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Regenerate bazel files using gazelle:
|
|
```
|
|
make bazel-gazelle
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Other changes needed
|
|
|
|
* By default the `go_test` command doesn't allow tests to use data. So we need to use `data = glob(["testdata/**"]),` or similar. We add `# keep` to stop gazelle from removing it. `data` doesn't make it easy to access files in a parent directory, so we'll have to clean up some of the test / package structure.
