bduffany/bb-dev-plugins

This repo contains a collection of bb plugins that make developing in the BuildBuddy codebase a bit easier.

Its current features are:

• Fix unused imports: Looks for "unused import" errors in the build output, and delete unused imports automatically.

• Fix missing imports: Looks for undefined symbol references in the build which look like package references, and optimistically imports those packages for you. For example, if you write &repb.Action{} and you get an error in your build like foo.go:12:1: undefined: "repb", the plugin will auto-add an import like repb "github.com/buildbuddy-io/buildbuddy/proto/remote_execution" since we most commonly import the remote execution proto as repb.

Installation

The plugins can be installed for your user account in ~/buildbuddy.yaml using:

bb install --user bduffany/bb-dev-plugins

Pre-requisites

TODO(bduffany): Remove some of these requirements and make this plugin less specific to buildbuddy development.

• BUILDBUDDY_REPO_PATH and BUILDBUDDY_INTERNAL_REPO_PATH environment variables set in your ~/.bashrc, like this:

export BUILDBUDDY_REPO_PATH=~/bb/buildbuddy
export BUILDBUDDY_INTERNAL_REPO_PATH=~/bb/buildbuddy-internal

• Python 3.8 or higher. If you have 3.8 installed but python3 --version returns an older version, you can alternatively set the BB_PYTHON_BINARY env var, like export BB_PYTHON_BINARY=/usr/bin/python3.8.

• OPTIONAL: To add missing BUILD deps for TypeScript, buildozer must be available in $PATH. (BUILD deps for Go are managed by the go-deps plugin)
