Breaking changes in 0.20

0.20 is a migration window for the following changes

Breaking changes in the next release (0.21)

Incompatible changes:

the --experimental_no_dotd_scanning_with_modules command line
argument is not supported anymore.
The --prune_cpp_modules command line option is not supported
anymore.
the --experimental_prune_cpp_input_discovery command line option
is not supported anymore.

New features:

Added support for Android NDK r18.

Important changes:

The 'default' parameter of attr.output and attr.output_list is
removed. This is controlled by
--incompatible_no_output_attr_default
A number of platform-related Starlark APIs which were previously
marked "experimental" are now disabled by default, and may be
enabled via --experimental_platforms_api
Make legacy-test-support ("legacy_test-") from
android_sdk_repository neverlink. The legacy test support
libraries shouldn't be built into test binaries. To make them
available at runtime, developers should declare them via
uses-library:
https://developer.android.com/training/testing/set-up-project#andr
oid-test-base
query remote server Capabilities (per REAPI v2)
CppRules: All cc_toolchains depended on from
cc_toolchain_suite.toolchains are now analyzed when not using
platforms in order to select the right cc_toolchain.
removed obsolete --explicit_jre_deps flag.
Incompatible flag
--incompatible_disable_legacy_cpp_toolchain_skylark_api was
flipped.
Improve error messaging when unsupport proguard options are
specified at the library level.
Incompatible flag
--incompatible_disable_legacy_cpp_toolchain_skylark_api was
flipped.
Incompatible flag
--incompatible_disable_legacy_cpp_toolchain_skylark_api was
flipped.
The --incompatible_disable_late_bound_option_defaults flag has
been flipped (#6384)
Incompatible flag
--incompatible_disable_legacy_flags_cc_toolchain_api was flipped
(#6434)
Fixed issue where ctx.resolve_command created conflicting
intermediate files when resolve_command was called multiple times
within the same rule invocation with a long command attribute.
Incompatible flag
--incompatible_disable_cc_configuration_make_variables was
flipped (#6381)
If the --javabase flag is unset, it Bazel locates a JDK using
the JAVA_HOME environment variable and searching the PATH. If no
JDK is found --javabase will be empty, and builds targeting Java
will not
be supported. Previously Bazel would fall back to using the
embedded
JDK as a --javabase, but this is no longer default behaviour. A
JDK should
be explicitly installed instead to enable Java development
Bazel will now shut down when idle for 5 minutes and the system
is low on RAM (linux only).
CROSSTOOL file is now read from the package of cc_toolchain, not
from
the package of cc_toolchain_suite. This is not expected to break
anybody since
cc_toolchain_suite and cc_toolchain are commonly in the same
package.
All overrides of Starlark's ctx.new_file function are now
deprecated.
Try the --incompatible_new_actions_api flag to ensure your
code is forward-compatible.
--incompatible_disable_cc_toolchain_label_from_crosstool_proto
was flipped.
Introduce --(no)shutdown_on_low_sys_mem startup flag to toggle
idle low-memory shutdown, disabled by default.
--incompatible_disable_cc_toolchain_label_from_crosstool_proto
was flipped.
--incompatible_disable_cc_toolchain_label_from_crosstool_proto
was flipped.
CppRules: All cc_toolchains depended on from
cc_toolchain_suite.toolchains are now analyzed when not using
platforms in order to select the right cc_toolchain.
The function attr.license is deprecated and will be removed.
It can be disabled now with --incompatible_no_attr_license.
range() function now returns a lazy value
(--incompatible_range_type is now set by default).
The code coverage report now includes the actual paths to header
files instead of the ugly,
Bazel generated, virtual includes path.
--incompatible_disallow_conflicting_providers has been switched
to true
Add new flag --incompatible_disable_systool_from_configration to
disable loading the systool from CppConfiguration.
Add new flag --incompatible_disable_sysroot_from_configuration
to
disable loading the systool from CppConfiguration.
Sorting remote Platform properties for remote execution. May
affect cache keys!
Use different server log files per Bazel server process; java.log
is
now a symlink to the latest log.

The Bazel team is happy to announce a new version of Bazel, Bazel 0.19.

This document lists the major changes since Bazel 0.18.

General changes

The --incompatible_expand_directories flag automatically expands directories in command lines. See the design document.
The --loading_phase_threads flag now defaults to auto instead of 200, which at the moment corresponds to the number of CPUs. This is appropriate for most users. However, if your sources reside on a network file system, increasing this value may yield better analysis-time performance when disk caches are cold.

Android

Fixed missing debug symbols when building native code with --compilation_mode=dbg that target Android ARM architectures by adding the -g flag.

C++

Added --incompatible_disable_legacy_flags_cc_toolchain_api to deprecate legacy cc_toolchain Starlark API for legacy CROSSTOOL fields. Tracking issue is #6434. See the instructions for migration.
Runfiles in cc_test: the C++ runfiles library (@bazel_tools//tools/cpp/runfiles) can now create Runfiles objects for tests. See //tools/cpp/runfiles/runfiles_src.h in the Bazel source tree for documentation.
:cc_binary link action no longer hardcodes -static-libgcc for toolchains that support embedded runtimes (guarded by --experimental_dont_emit_static_libgcc temporarily).
The flag --experimental_enable_cc_configuration_make_variables is removed, use --incompatible_disable_cc_configuration_make_variables instead.

Java

Bazel now requires a JDK to be installed as it no longer falls back to the internal JDK if the --javabase flag is not set. Instead, Bazel now searches for a JDK within the JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables. If Bazel cannot find a JDK, it will not be able to run Java builds.

Code Coverage

LcovMerger was renamed to CoverageOutputGenerator. Please use

--coverage_report_generator=@bazel_tools//tools/test/CoverageOutputGenerator/java/com/google/devtools/coverageoutputgenerator:Main

instead of the previous

--coverage_report_generator=@bazel_tools//tools/test/LcovMerger/java/com/google/devtools/lcovmerger:Main

You can now enable a new coverage method for C++ rules that use gcc with the --experimental_cc_coverage flag. The flag will use gcov instead of lcov to collect coverage information. This new implementation fixes
some of the C++ coverage correctness issues ( respecting --instrumentation_filter and --instrument_test_targets flags ).
There have been observed faster clean and incremental times when invoking bazel coverage ( small overhead compared to test runtimes instead of 2x test runtime ), but more measurements need to be done.

Other Changes

Add --apple_compiler and --apple_grte_top options. These provide the equivalent of --compiler / --grte_top for the toolchain configured in --apple_crosstool_top.
There is now a same_pkg_direct_rdeps query function. See the query documentation for more details.
Propagating remote errors to the user even if --verbose_failures=false is set.
Add number of configured targets to analysis phase status output.
Bazel will now check stderr instead of stdout to decide if it is outputting to a terminal. --isatty is deprecated, use --is_stderr_atty instead.

Future Changes

We will do incompatible changes in Bazel 0.20. We encourage you to migrate in advance (or report any migration difficulty) with the following flags:

Thank you to our contributors!

71926bc:

86a8217:
Temporarily restore processing of workspace-wide tools/bazel.rc
file.

General changes

New bazelrc file list.
If you need to keep both the old and new lists of .rc files active
concurrently to support multiple versions of Bazel, you can import the old
file location into the new list using try-import. This imports a file if it
exists and silently exits if it does not. You can use this method to account
for a user file that may or may not exist
.bazelignore
is now fully functional.
The startup flag --host_javabase has been renamed to
--server_javabase to avoid confusion with the build flag
--host_javabase.

Android

The Android resource processing pipeline now supports persistence
via worker processes. Enable it with
--persistent_android_resource_processor. We have observed a 50% increase
in build speed for clean local builds and up to 150% increase in build
speed for incremental local builds.

C++

In-memory package //tools/defaults has been removed (controlled by
--incompatible_disable_tools_defaults_package flag). Please see
migration instructions
and migrate soon, the flag will be flipped in Bazel 0.19, and the legacy
behavior will be removed in Bazel 0.20.
Late bound option defaults (typical example was the --compiler flag, when
it was not specified, it’s value was computed using the CROSSTOOL) are removed
(controlled by --incompatible_disable_late_bound_option_defaults flag).
Please see migration instructions
and migrate soon, the flag will be flipped in Bazel 0.19, and the legacy
behavior will be removed in Bazel 0.20.
Depsets are no longer accepted in user_compile_flags and user_link_flags
in the C++ toolchain API (controlled by
--incompatible_disable_depset_in_cc_user_flags flag) affects C++ users.
Please see migration instructions
and migrate soon, the flag will be flipped in Bazel 0.19, and the legacy
behavior will be removed in Bazel 0.20.
CROSSTOOL is no longer consulted when selecting C++ toolchain (controlled by
--incompatible_disable_cc_toolchain_label_from_crosstool_proto flag).
Please see migration instructions
and migrate soon, the flag will be flipped in Bazel 0.19, and the legacy behavior will be removed in Bazel 0.20.
You can now use toolchain_identifier attribute
on cc_toolchain to pair it with CROSSTOOL toolchain.
C++ specific Make variables
are no longer passed from the CppConfiguration, but from the C++ toolchain
(controlled by --incompatible_disable_cc_configuration_make_variables flag).
Please see migration instructions
and migrate soon, the flag will be flipped
in Bazel 0.19, and the legacy behavior will be removed in Bazel 0.20.
Skylark api accessing C++
toolchain in ctx.fragments.cpp is removed (controlled by
--incompatible_disable_legacy_cpp_toolchain_skylark_api flag).
Please migrate soon, the flag will be flipped
in Bazel 0.19, and the legacy behavior will be removed in Bazel 0.20.
cc_binary link action no longer hardcodes
-static-libgcc for toolchains that support embedded runtimes
(guarded by --experimental_dont_emit_static_libgcc
temporarily). Proper deprecation using --incompatible flags will follow.

Java

Future versions of Bazel will require a locally installed JDK
for Java development. Previously Bazel would fall back to using
the embedded --server_javabase if no JDK as available. Pass
--incompatible_never_use_embedded_jdk_for_javabase to disable the
legacy behaviour.
--javacopt= no longer affects compilations of tools that are
executed during the build; use --host_javacopt= to change javac
flags in the host configuration.

Objective C

objc_library now supports the module_name attribute.

Skylark

Adds --incompatible_expand_directories to automatically expand
directories in skylark command lines. Design doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/11agWFiOUiz2htBLj6swPTob5z78TrCxm8DQE4uJLOwM
Support fileset expansion in ctx.actions.args(). Controlled by
--incompatible_expand_directories.

Windows

--windows_exe_launcher is deprecated, this flag will be removed
soon. Please make sure you are not using it.
Bazel now supports the symlink runfiles tree on Windows with
--experimental_enable_runfiles flag. For more details, see
this doc.

Other Changes

A new experimental option --experimental_ui_deduplicate has been added. It
causes the UI to attempt to deduplicate messages from actions to keep the
console output cleaner.
Add --modify_execution_info, a flag to customize action execution
info.
Add ExecutionInfo to aquery output for ExecutionInfoSpecifier
actions.
When computing --instrumentation_filter, end filter patterns with
"[/:]" to match non-top-level packages exactly and treat
top-level targets consistently.
Added the bazel info server_log command, which obtains the main Bazel
server log file path. This can help debug Bazel issues.
aapt shrink resources now properly respect filter configurations.

Notice: Bazel installers contain binaries licensed under the GPLv2 with
Classpath exception. Those installers should always be redistributed along with
the source code.

Important changes:

In the future, Bazel will expand tree artifacts in runfiles, too,
which causes the sandbox to link each file individually into the
sandbox directory, instead of symlinking the entire directory. In
this release, the behavior is not enabled by default yet. Please
try it out via
--incompatible_symlinked_sandbox_expands_tree_artifacts_in_runfile
s_tree and let us know if it causes issues. If everything looks
good, this behavior will become the default in a following
release.

If the same artifact is generated by two distinct but identical
actions, and a downstream action has both those actions' outputs

New features:

The aquery command now supports --output=text.
Java, runfiles: the Java runfiles library is now in

Important changes:

Allow @ in package names.
Remove support for java_runtime_suite; use alias() together with
select() instead.
Python wrapper scripts for MSVC are removed.
[JavaInfo] Outputs are merged in java_common.merge().
Faster analysis by improved parallelization.
--experimental_shortened_obj_file_path is removed.
Introduce the --remote_cache_proxy flag,
which allows for remote http caching to connect
via a unix domain socket.
No longer define G3_VERSION_INFO for c++ linkstamp compiles, as
it was a duplicate of G3_TARGET_NAME.
Added support for Android NDK r17. The default STL is now
libc++, and support for targeting mips, mips64 and ARMv5
(armeabi) has been removed.
Add aquery command to get analysis time information about the
action graph.
Fixed compatibility with aar_import when using aapt2. AAPT2 is
now supported for Android app builds without resource shrinking.
To use it, pass the --android_aapt=aapt2 flag or define
android_binary.aapt_version=aapt2.
Code coverage is collected for Java binaries invoked from sh_test.
java_common.compile creates the native headers jar accesible via
JavaInfo.outputs.native_headers.
Deleting deprecated no-op flag --show_package_location
The JDK shipped with Bazel was updated to JDK10.
Rename the startup flag --host_javabase to --server_javabase to
avoid confusion with the build flag --host_javabase
newly added options --experimental_repository_hash_file and
--experimental_verify_repository_rules allow to verify for
repositories
the directory generated against pre-recorded hashes. See
documentation
for those options.
Removed the gen_jars output group
--subcommands can now take a "pretty_print" value
("--subcommands=pretty_print") to print the
arguments of subcommands as a list for easier reading.

A rule error is now thrown if a Skylark rule implementation
function returns multiple providers of the same type.
When using Bazel's remote execution feature and Bazel has to
fallback to local execution for an action, Bazel used
non-sandboxed
local execution until now. From this release on, you can use the
new
flag --remote_local_fallback_strategy= to tell Bazel
which
strategy to use in that case.
Execution Log Parser can now, when printing it out, filter the
log by runner type
A rule error is now thrown if a Skylark rule implementation
function returns multiple providers of the same type.
Removed the gen_jars output group
Removed the gen_jars output group
Set --defer_param_files to default to true.
Sort attribute lists in proto-form query output to fix
non-deterministic genquery output.
Replace 0/1 with False/True for testonly attribute
bazel now supports a .bazelignore file specifying
directories to be ignored; however, these directories still
have to be well founded and, in particular, may not contain
symlink cycles.
Add more detailed reporting of the differences between startup
options.
update data binding to 3.2.0
For Android incremental dexing actions, Bazel now persists its
DexBuilder process across individual actions. From our
benchmarks, this results in a 1.2x speedup for clean local builds.
The standard xcode_VERSION feature now always uses exactly two
components in the version, even if you specify --xcode_version
with
more or fewer than two.
A rule error will be thrown if a Skylark rule implementation
function returns multiple providers of the same type. Try the
--incompatible_disallow_conflicting_providers flag to ensure
your code is forward-compatible.
Removed notion of FULLY_STATIC linking mode from C++ rules.
In documentation, we've renamed Skylark into Starlark.
Execution Log Parser can now, when printing it out, reorder the
actions for easier text diffs
Linkstamps are no longer recompiled after server restart.
Use VanillaJavaBuilder and disable header compilation in
toolchain_hostjdk8. The default toolchain will soon drop
compatibility with JDK 8. Using a JDK 8 host_javabase
will only be supported when using 'VanillaJavaBuilder' (which
does not support Error Prone,
Strict Java Deps, or reduced classpaths) and with header
compilation disabled.
In the future, Bazel will expand tree artifacts in runfiles, too,
which causes the sandbox to link each file individually into the
sandbox directory, instead of symlinking the entire directory. In
this release, the behavior is not enabled by default yet. Please
try it out via
--incompatible_symlinked_sandbox_expands_tree_artifacts_in_runfile
s_tree and let us know if it causes issues. If everything looks
good, this behavior will become the default in a following
release.

Incompatible changes:

The $(ANDROID_CPU) Make variable is not available anymore. Use
$(TARGET_CPU) after an Android configuration transition instead.
The $(JAVA_TRANSLATIONS) Make variable is not supported anymore.
Skylark structs (using struct()) may no longer have to_json and
to_proto overridden.
The mobile-install --skylark_incremental_res flag is no longer
available, use the --skylark flag instead.

New features:

android_local_test now takes advantage of Robolectric's binary
resource processing which allows for faster tests.
Allow @ in package names.

Important changes:

Option --glibc is removed, toolchain selection relies solely on
--cpu and --compiler options.
Build support for enabling cross binary FDO optimization.
The --distdir option is no longer experimental. This
option allows to specify additional directories to look for
files before trying to fetch them from the network. Files from
any of the distdirs are only used if a checksum for the file
is specified and both, the filename and the checksum, match.
Java coverage works now with multiple jobs.
Flip default value of --experimental_shortened_obj_file_path to
true, Bazel now generates short object file path by default.
New rules for importing Android dependencies:
aar_import_external and aar_maven_import_external.
aar_import_external enables specifying external AAR
dependencies using a list of HTTP URLs for the artifact.
aar_maven_import_external enables specifying external AAR
dependencies using the artifact coordinate and a list of server
URLs.
The BAZEL_JAVAC_OPTS environment variable allows arguments, e.g.,
"-J-Xmx2g", may be passed to the javac compiler during bootstrap
build. This is helpful if your system chooses too small of a max
heap size for the Java compiler during the bootstrap build.
--noexpand_configs_in_place is deprecated.
A tool to parse the Bazel execution log.
Support for LIPO has been fully removed.
Remove support for --discard_actions_after_execution.
Add --materialize_param_files flag to write parameter files even
when actions are executed remotely.
Windows default system bazelrc is read from the user's
ProgramData if present.
--[no]allow_undefined_configs no longer exists, passing undefined
configs is an error.
In remote caching we limit the number of open
TCP connections to 100 by default. The number can be adjusted
by specifying the --remote_max_connections flag.

Notice: Bazel installers contain binaries licensed under the GPLv2 with
Classpath exception. Those installers should always be redistributed along with
