Public API
Resolves a relative path between two files, “to_file” and “frm_file”.
If neither of the paths begin with ../ it is assumed that they share the same root. When finding the relative path, the incoming files are treated as actual files (not folders) so the resulting relative path may differ when compared to passing the same arguments to python‘s “os.path.relpath()” or NodeJs’s “path.relative()”.
For example, ‘relative_file(“../foo/foo.txt”, “bar/bar.txt”)’ will return ‘../../foo/foo.txt’
PARAMETERS
| Name | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| to_file | the path with file name to resolve to, from frm | none |
| frm_file | the path with file name to resolve from | none |
RETURNS
The relative path from frm_file to to_file, including the file name
The runfiles manifest entry path for a file
This is the full runfiles path of a file including its workspace name as the first segment. We refert to it as the manifest path as it is the path flavor that is used for in the runfiles MANIFEST file.
We must avoid using non-normalized paths (workspace/../other_workspace/path) in order to locate entries by their key.
PARAMETERS
| Name | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| ctx | starlark rule execution context | none |
| file | a File object | none |
RETURNS
The runfiles manifest entry path for a file
The relative path from bazel-out/[arch]/bin to the given File object
PARAMETERS
| Name | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| f | - | none |
The workspace relative path for a file
This is the full runfiles path of a file excluding its workspace name. This differs from root path and manifest path as it does not include the repository name if the file is from an external repository.
PARAMETERS
| Name | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| file | a File object | none |
RETURNS
The workspace relative path for a file
