Scala Rules for Bazel

Build status

Where to get help

Overview

Bazel is a tool for building and testing software and can handle large, multi-language projects at scale.

This project defines core build rules for Scala that can be used to build, test, and package Scala projects.

Rules

Getting started

  1. Install Bazel, see the compatibility table.
  2. Add the following to your WORKSPACE file and update versions with their sha256s if needed:
# WORKSPACE
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")

http_archive(
    name = "bazel_skylib",
    sha256 = "b8a1527901774180afc798aeb28c4634bdccf19c4d98e7bdd1ce79d1fe9aaad7",
    urls = [
        "https://mirror.bazel.build/github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-skylib/releases/download/1.4.1/bazel-skylib-1.4.1.tar.gz",
        "https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-skylib/releases/download/1.4.1/bazel-skylib-1.4.1.tar.gz",
    ],
)

# See https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_scala/releases for up to date version information.
http_archive(
    name = "io_bazel_rules_scala",
    sha256 = "71324bef9bc5a885097e2960d5b8effed63399b55572219919d25f43f468c716",
    strip_prefix = "rules_scala-6.2.1",
    url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_scala/releases/download/v6.2.1/rules_scala-v6.2.1.tar.gz",
)

load("@io_bazel_rules_scala//:scala_config.bzl", "scala_config")
# Stores Scala version and other configuration
# 2.12 is a default version, other versions can be use by passing them explicitly:
# scala_config(scala_version = "2.11.12")
# Scala 3 requires extras...
#   3.2 should be supported on master. Please note that Scala artifacts for version (3.2.2) are not defined in
#   Rules Scala, they need to be provided by your WORKSPACE. You can use external loader like
#   https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_jvm_external
scala_config()

load("@io_bazel_rules_scala//scala:scala.bzl", "rules_scala_setup", "rules_scala_toolchain_deps_repositories")

# loads other rules Rules Scala depends on 
rules_scala_setup()

# Loads Maven deps like Scala compiler and standard libs. On production projects you should consider 
# defining a custom deps toolchains to use your project libs instead 
rules_scala_toolchain_deps_repositories(fetch_sources = True)

load("@rules_proto//proto:repositories.bzl", "rules_proto_dependencies", "rules_proto_toolchains")
rules_proto_dependencies()
rules_proto_toolchains()

load("@io_bazel_rules_scala//scala:toolchains.bzl", "scala_register_toolchains")
scala_register_toolchains()

# optional: setup ScalaTest toolchain and dependencies
load("@io_bazel_rules_scala//testing:scalatest.bzl", "scalatest_repositories", "scalatest_toolchain")
scalatest_repositories()
scalatest_toolchain()

This will load the rules_scala repository at the commit sha rules_scala_version into your Bazel project and register a scala_toolchain at the default Scala version (2.12.20)

Then in your BUILD file just add the following so the rules will be available:

load("@io_bazel_rules_scala//scala:scala.bzl", "scala_library", "scala_binary", "scala_test")

You may wish to have these rules loaded by default using bazel's prelude. You can add the above to the file tools/build_rules/prelude_bazel in your repo (don't forget to have a, possibly empty, BUILD file there) and then it will be automatically prepended to every BUILD file in the workspace.

To run with a persistent worker (much faster), you need to add

build --strategy=Scalac=worker
build --worker_sandboxing

to your command line, or to enable by default for building/testing add it to your .bazelrc.

Coverage support

It will produce several .dat files with results for your targets.

You can also add more options to receive a combined coverage report:

bazel coverage \
  --combined_report=lcov \
  --coverage_report_generator="@bazel_tools//tools/test/CoverageOutputGenerator/java/com/google/devtools/coverageoutputgenerator:Main" \
  //...

This should produce a single bazel-out/_coverage/_coverage_report.dat from all coverage files that are generated.

You can extract information from your coverage reports with lcov:

# For a summary:
lcov --summary your-coverage-report.dat
# For details:
lcov --list your-coverage-report.dat

If you prefer an HTML report, then you can use genhtml provided also by the lcov package.

Coverage support has been only tested with ScalaTest.

Please check coverage.md for more details on coverage support.

Selecting Scala version

With toolchains

Rules scala supports the last two released minor versions for each of Scala 2.11, 2.12, 2.13. Previous minor versions may work but are supported only on a best effort basis.

To configure Scala version you must call scala_config(scala_version = "2.xx.xx") and configure dependencies by declaring scala_toolchain. For a quick start you can use scala_repositories() and scala_register_toolchains(), which have dependency providers configured for 2.11.12, 2.12.20 and 2.13.15 versions.

# WORKSPACE
load("@io_bazel_rules_scala//:scala_config.bzl", "scala_config")
scala_config(scala_version = "2.13.15")

load("@rules_proto//proto:repositories.bzl", "rules_proto_dependencies", "rules_proto_toolchains")
rules_proto_dependencies()
rules_proto_toolchains()

load("@io_bazel_rules_scala//scala:toolchains.bzl", "scala_register_toolchains")
scala_register_toolchains()

Note: Toolchains are a more flexible way to configure dependencies, so you should prefer that way. Please also note, that the overriden_artifacts parameter is likely to be removed in the future.

Multiple versions (cross-compilation)

Rules scala supports configuring multiple Scala versions and offers target-level control of which one to use.

Please check cross-compilation.md for more details on cross-compilation support.

Breaking changes

If you're upgrading to a version containing one of these commits, you may encounter a breaking change where there was previously undefined behavior.

  • 929b318 on 2020-01-30: Fixed a bug in the JMH benchmark build that was allowing build failures to creep through. Previously you were able to build a benchmark suite with JMH build errors. Running the benchmark suite would only run the successfully-built benchmarks.

Usage with bazel-deps

Bazel-deps allows you to generate bazel dependencies transitively for maven artifacts. Generally we don't want bazel-deps to fetch scala artifacts from maven but instead use the ones we get from calling scala_repositories. The artifacts can be overridden in the dependencies file used by bazel-deps:

replacements:
  org.scala-lang:
    scala-library:
      lang: scala/unmangled
      target: "@io_bazel_rules_scala_scala_library//:io_bazel_rules_scala_scala_library"
    scala-reflect:
      lang: scala/unmangled
      target: "@io_bazel_rules_scala_scala_reflect//:io_bazel_rules_scala_scala_reflect"
    scala-compiler:
      lang: scala/unmangled
      target: "@io_bazel_rules_scala_scala_compiler//:io_bazel_rules_scala_scala_compiler"

  org.scala-lang.modules:
    scala-parser-combinators:
      lang: scala
      target:
        "@io_bazel_rules_scala_scala_parser_combinators//:io_bazel_rules_scala_scala_parser_combinators"
    scala-xml:
      lang: scala
      target:
        "@io_bazel_rules_scala_scala_xml//:io_bazel_rules_scala_scala_xml"

Dependency Tracking

Rules Scala supports multiple dependency modes including strict and unused dependency tracking. See Dependency Tracking for more info.

Advanced configurable rules

To make the ruleset more flexible and configurable, we introduce a phase architecture. By using a phase architecture, where rule implementations are defined as a list of phases that are executed sequentially, functionality can easily be added (or modified) by adding (or swapping) phases.

Phases provide 3 major benefits:

  • Consumers are able to configure the rules to their specific use cases by defining new phases within their workspace without impacting other consumers.
  • Contributors are able to implement new functionalities by creating additional default phases.
  • Phases give us more clear idea what steps are shared across rules.

See Customizable Phase for more info.

Phase extensions

Building from source

Setup bazel: We recommend using Bazelisk as your default bazel binary

Test & Build:

bash test_all.sh

You can also use:

bazel test //test/...

Note bazel test //... will not work since we have a sub-folder on the root folder which is meant to be used in a failure scenario in the integration tests. Similarly to only build you should use bazel build //src/... due to that folder.

Updates

This section contains a list of updates that might require action from the user.
