Description of the problem / feature request:

Bazel does not enforce correct casing in package names, nor in target names (if they refer to input files).

Bazel only enforces correct casing in target names that are rules or output files. (Because these are defined as strings in the BUILD file.)

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

Repro on Windows -- in cmd.exe:

md c:\src\tmp\case\Foo\Bar

cd c:\src\tmp\case

type nul > WORKSPACE

echo Servus > Foo\Bar\Hello

echo genrule(name="x",srcs=["foo/bar/hello"],outs=["x.out"],cmd="(echo $< ; cat $< ;) > $@") > BUILD

bazel build //:x & type bazel-bin\x.out
(...)
INFO: Build completed successfully, 2 total actions
foo/bar/hello
Servus

Repro on macOS -- in Bash:

mkdir -p /tmp/case/Foo/Bar

cd /tmp/case

touch WORKSPACE

echo Servus > Foo/Bar/Hello

echo 'genrule(name="x",srcs=["foo/bar/hello"],outs=["x.out"],cmd="(echo $< ; cat $< ;) > $@")' > BUILD

bazel build //:x && cat bazel-bin/x.out
(...)
INFO: Build completed successfully, 2 total actions
foo/bar/hello
Servus

What operating system are you running Bazel on?

Windows 10
macOS 10.15.1

What's the output of bazel info release?

release 1.2.1

Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?

Same culprit as #7627.

Support case-sensitive package loading
2d4bf4c 
The --incompatible_validate_package_path_casing
flag enables a new validation step in package
loading: when enabled, Bazel requires that package
paths be case-correct.

When the user runs "bazel build //Foo/Bar:Baz",
Bazel looks up the package "Foo/Bar" by stat'ing
"Foo/Bar/BUILD". If the file exists, then the
package exists. Every Label that Bazel creates in
this package is derived from the "Foo/Bar" string.

On Linux the filesystem is case-sensitive, so the
path casing must be correct for stat() to succeed,
so it's impossible to load the package "//Foo/Bar"
as "//FOO/baR".

On Windows and macOS the filesystem ignores the
difference between lower and upper case letters,
so stat("foo/bAr/BUILD") and stat("FOO/bar/build")
would both suceed, so "bazel build //foo/bAr:Baz"
and "bazel build //FOO/bar:Baz" both work. This
leads to bugs such as bazelbuild#6401, bazelbuild#8009, and bazelbuild#8799.

Automated rollback of commit 06d2f6d.
6e167e6 
*** Reason for rollback ***

We must implement path case fixing on top of Skyframe (by requesting DirectoryListingValue), rather than as a JNI method. That way clients get invalidated when a path is renamed such that only the casing changes.

*** Original change description ***

Windows: implement getCorrectCasing

Implement getCorrectCasing: a function that
normalizes a path and returns the case-correct
version of it.

See #8799

Closes #9435.

would both suceed, so "bazel build //foo/bAr:Baz"
and "bazel build //FOO/bar:Baz" both work. This
leads to bugs such as bazelbuild#6401, bazelbuild#8009, and bazelbuild#8799.

VFS: add RootedPathAndCasing
834b677 
This class stores a RootedPath and the String
value of its relative part.

This class allows distinguishing RootedPaths on
case-insensitive filesystems, if the RootedPaths
refer to the same file but use different casing.

The class only compares the casing of the relative
parts, not of the root parts. Reason is, this
class will be used to validate the casing of
package paths, which are always relative to the
package root.

See bazelbuild#8799

VFS: add RootedPathAndCasing
be5630b 
This class stores a RootedPath and the String
value of its relative part.

This class allows distinguishing RootedPaths on
case-insensitive filesystems, if two RootedPaths
refer to the same file but use different casing.

The motivation is to support validating package
path casing. (See issue #8799.) My plan is to add
a new SkyFunction called PathCasingLookupFunction,
which validates that a certain RootedPath is
correctly cased. The SkyKey can't just take a
RootedPath, because on Windows the path semantics
dictate that RootedPath objects are compared
without regard to casing. Thus we must also store
the particular casing in the SkyKey, and so we
need the RootedPathWithCasing class.

The class only compares the casing of the relative
parts, not of the root parts. Reason is, this
class will be used to validate the casing of
package paths, which are always relative to the
package root whose casing we needn't worry about.

See #8799

Closes #10357.

3b1df1f 
The new PathCasingLookupFunction is a SkyFunction
that can validate the casing of a path.

On case-insensitive filesystems if "foo/BUILD"
exists then "FOO/BUILD" also exists (because they
mean the same file), but this should not imply
that the "//foo" and "//FOO" packages both exist.

The new SkyFunction can validate whether
"FOO/BUILD" is the correct casing. The casing is
correct if the file's name in its parent
directory's listing is exactly the same
(case-sensitively) as the expected name.

In a later PR we can change the
PackageLookupFunction to deny loading if the path
is not correctly cased.

Add case-checking PackageIdentifier
9a1572a 
If the "bazel.check_label_casing" JVM property is
"1", then PackageIdentifier objects will store not
only the RepositoryName and PathFragment, but also
the toString() values of those.

These augmented PackageIdentifiers (actually:
CaseCheckingPackageIdentifiers) allow telling
apart PackageIdentifiers whose RepositoryName and
PathFragment values are equal but are cased
differently. This scenario is common on
case-insensitive filesystems, where the paths
"foo/x" and "FoO/X" are equal but differently
cased.

Motivation is to allow case-checking the package
names in PackageLookupFunction.

The SkyKey of PackageLookupFunction contains a
PackageIdentifier, which holds a reference to the
RepositoryName and PathFragment (package
fragment). On case-insensitive filesystems, both
of these objects check equality without regard to
case, and so do PackageIdentifiers as a
consequence.

But PackageIdentifier objects are interned for
better memory usage, which means that on a
case-insensitive filesystem it's impossible to
create two PackageIdentifiers whose RepositoryName
and PathFragment are equal but differently cased.
And that means it's also impossible to check in
the PackageLookupFunction whether the requested
package path (and thus the PackageIdentifier) has
correct casing.

With this PR, PackageIdentifier.create() will
return CaseCheckingPackageIdentifier when case
checking is enabled, so PackageLookupFunction will
know exactly what casing the user requested, and
can therefore validate that casing and deny
loading the package if the casing is wrong. And
that is what would fix bazelbuild#8799
