Gerrit Code Review Rules for Bazel

Rules

• gerrit_plugin

Overview

These build rules are used for building Gerrit Code Review plugins with Bazel. Plugins are compiled as .jar files containing plugin code and dependencies.

Setup

To be able to use the Gerrit rules, you must provide bindings for the plugin API jars. The easiest way to do so is to add the following to your WORKSPACE file, which will give you default versions for Gerrit plugin API.

git_repository(
  name = "com_googlesource_gerrit_bazlets",
  remote = "https://gerrit.googlesource.com/bazlets",
  commit = "928c928345646ae958b946e9bbdb462f58dd1384",
)
load("@com_googlesource_gerrit_bazlets//:gerrit_api.bzl", "gerrit_api")
gerrit_api()

The version parameter allows to override the default API. For release version numbers, make sure to also provide artifacts' SHA1 sums via the plugin_api_sha1 and acceptance_framework_sha1 parameters:

load("@com_googlesource_gerrit_bazlets//:gerrit_api.bzl", "gerrit_api")
gerrit_api(version = "3.2.1",
           plugin_api_sha1 = "47019cf43ef7e6e8d2d5c0aeba0407d23c93699c",
           acceptance_framework_sha1 = "6252cab6d1f76202e57858fcffb428424e90b128")

If the version ends in -SNAPSHOT, the jars are consumed from the local Maven repository (~/.m2) per default assumed to be and the SHA1 sums can be omitted:

load("@com_googlesource_gerrit_bazlets//:gerrit_api.bzl", "gerrit_api")
gerrit_api(version = "3.3.0-SNAPSHOT")

Basic Example

Suppose you have the following directory structure for a simple plugin:

[workspace]/
├── src
│   └── main
│       ├── java
│       └── resources
├── BUILD
└── WORKSPACE

To build this plugin, your BUILD can look like this:

load("//tools/bzl:plugin.bzl", "gerrit_plugin")

gerrit_plugin(
    name = "reviewers",
    srcs = glob(["src/main/java/**/*.java"]),
    manifest_entries = [
        "Gerrit-PluginName: reviewers",
        "Gerrit-Module: com.googlesource.gerrit.plugins.reviewers.Module",
    ],
    resources = glob(["src/main/**/*"]),
)

Now, you can build the Gerrit plugin by running bazel build <plugin>.

For a real world example, see the reviewers plugin.

gerrit_plugin

gerrit_plugin(name, srcs, resources, deps, manifest_entries):

Implicit output target

• <name>.jar: library containing built plugin jar

Attributes
name	Name, required A unique name for this rule.
srcs	List of labels, optional List of .java source files that will be compiled.
resources	List of labels, optional List of resource files that will be passed on the classpath to the Java compiler.
deps	List of labels, optional List of other java_libraries on which the plugin depends.
manifest_entries	List of strings, optional A list of lines to add to the META-INF/manifest.mf file generated for the *_deploy.jar target.
