Bazel build files are now maintained primarily with `bazel run
gazelle`. This will analyze and merge changes into the build files as
necessitated by certain code changes (e.g. the introduction of new
modules).
In some cases there hints to gazelle in the build files, such as `#
gazelle:erlang...` or `# keep` comments. xref checks on plugins that
depend on the cli are a good example.
This is the latest commit in the series, it fixes (almost) all the
problems with missing and circular dependencies for typing.
The only 2 unsolved problems are:
- `lg` dependency for `rabbit` - the problem is that it's the only
dependency that contains NIF. And there is no way to make dialyzer
ignore it - looks like unknown check is not suppressable by dialyzer
directives. In the future making `lg` a proper dependency can be a
good thing anyway.
- some missing elixir function in `rabbitmq_cli` (CSV, JSON and
logging related).
- `eetcd` dependency for `rabbitmq_peer_discovery_etcd` - this one
uses sub-directories in `src/`, which confuses dialyzer (or our bazel
machinery is not able to properly handle it). I've tried the latest
rules_erlang which flattens directory for .beam files, but it wasn't
enough for dialyzer - it wasn't able to find core erlang files. This
is a niche plugin and an unusual dependency, so probably not worth
investigating further.
Also rework elixir dependency handling, so we no longer rely on mix to
fetch the rabbitmq_cli deps
Also:
- Specify ra version with a commit rather than a branch
- Fixup compilation options for erlang 23
- Add missing ra reference in MODULE.bazel
- Add missing flag in oci.yaml
- Reduce bazel rbe jobs to try to save memory
- Use bazel built erlang for erlang git master tests
- Use the same cache for all the workflows but windows
- Avoid using `mix local.hex --force` in elixir rules
- Fetching seems blocked in CI, and this should reduce hex api usage in
all builds, which is always nice
- Remove xref and dialyze tags since rules_erlang 3 includes them in
the defaults
bazel-erlang has been renamed rules_erlang. v2 is a substantial
refactor that brings Windows support. While this alone isn't enough to
run all rabbitmq-server suites on windows, one can at least now start
the broker (bazel run broker) and run the tests that do not start a
background broker process
