Gazelle is a build file generator for Go projects. It can create new
BUILD.bazel files for a project that follows "go build" conventions, and it
can update existing build files to include new files and options. Gazelle can
be invoked directly in a project workspace, or it can be run on an external
repository during the build as part of the `go_repository`_ rule.

*Gazelle is under active development. Its interface and the rules it generates
may change. Gazelle is not an official Google product.*

Setup
-----

Running Gazelle with Bazel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To use Gazelle in a new project, add the ``bazel_gazelle`` repository and its
dependencies to your WORKSPACE file before ``go_rules_dependencies`` is called.
It should look like this:

.. code:: bzl

    load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
    http_archive(
        name = "io_bazel_rules_go",
        urls = ["https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go/releases/download/0.12.1/rules_go-0.12.1.tar.gz"],
        sha256 = "8b68d0630d63d95dacc0016c3bb4b76154fe34fca93efd65d1c366de3fcb4294",
    )
    http_archive(
        name = "bazel_gazelle",
        urls = ["https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-gazelle/releases/download/0.12.0/bazel-gazelle-0.12.0.tar.gz"],
        sha256 = "ddedc7aaeb61f2654d7d7d4fd7940052ea992ccdb031b8f9797ed143ac7e8d43",
    )
    load("@io_bazel_rules_go//go:def.bzl", "go_rules_dependencies", "go_register_toolchains")
    go_rules_dependencies()
    go_register_toolchains()
    load("@bazel_gazelle//:deps.bzl", "gazelle_dependencies")
    gazelle_dependencies()
      
Add the code below to the BUILD or BUILD.bazel file in the root directory
of your repository. Replace the string in ``prefix`` with the portion of
your import path that corresponds to your repository.

.. code:: bzl
  
  load("@bazel_gazelle//:def.bzl", "gazelle")

  gazelle(
      name = "gazelle",
      prefix = "github.com/example/project",
  )

After adding this code, you can run Gazelle with Bazel.

.. code::

  $ bazel run //:gazelle

This will generate new BUILD.bazel files for your project. You can run the same
command in the future to update existing BUILD.bazel files to include new source
files or options.

You can pass additional arguments to Gazelle after a ``--`` argument. This
can be used to run alternate commands like ``update-repos`` that the ``gazelle``
rule does not support directly.

.. code::

  $ bazel run //:gazelle -- update-repos -from_file=Gopkg.lock

Running Gazelle with Go
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have a Go SDK installed, you can install Gazelle in your ``GOPATH`` with
the command below:

.. code::

  go get -u github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-gazelle/cmd/gazelle

Make sure to re-run this command to upgrade Gazelle whenever you upgrade
rules_go in your repository.

To generate BUILD.bazel files in a new project, run the command below, replacing
the prefix with the portion of your import path that corresponds to your
repository.

.. code::

  gazelle -go_prefix github.com/my/project

The prefix only needs to be specified the first time you run Gazelle. To update
existing BUILD.bazel files, you can just run ``gazelle`` without arguments.

Compatibility
-------------

Gazelle generates build files that require a minimum version of ``rules_go``
to build. Check the table below to ensure that you're using compatible versions.

+---------------------+------------------------------+------------------------------+
| **Gazelle version** | **Minimum rules_go version** | **Maximum rules_go version** |
+=====================+==============================+==============================+
| 0.8                 | 0.8.0                        | n/a                          |
+---------------------+------------------------------+------------------------------+
| 0.9                 | 0.9.0                        | n/a                          |
+---------------------+------------------------------+------------------------------+
| 0.10.0              | 0.9.0                        | 0.11.0                       |
+---------------------+------------------------------+------------------------------+
| 0.11.0              | 0.11.0                       | n/a                          |
+---------------------+------------------------------+------------------------------+
| 0.12.0              | 0.11.0                       | n/a                          |
+---------------------+------------------------------+------------------------------+

Usage
-----

Command line
~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code::

  gazelle <command> [flags...] [package-dirs...]

The first argument to Gazelle may be one of the commands below. If no command
is specified, ``update`` is assumed. The remaining arguments are specific
to each command and are documented below.

update_
  Scans sources files, then generates and updates build files.

fix_
  Same as the ``update`` command, but it also fixes deprecated usage of rules.

update-repos_
  Updates repository rules in the WORKSPACE file.

Bazel rule
~~~~~~~~~~

Gazelle may be run via a rule. See `Running Gazelle with Bazel`_ for setup
instructions. This rule builds Gazelle and generates a wrapper script that
executes Gazelle with baked-in set of arguments. You can run this script
with ``bazel run``, or you can copy it into your workspace and run it directly.

The following attributes are available on the ``gazelle`` rule.

+----------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| **Name**             | **Type**            | **Default value**                    |
+======================+=====================+======================================+
| :param:`gazelle`     | :type:`label`       | :value:`@bazel_gazelle//cmd/gazelle` |
+----------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| The ``go_binary`` rule that builds Gazelle. You can substitute a modified         |
| version of Gazelle with this.                                                     |
+----------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| :param:`external`    | :type:`string`      | :value:`external`                    |
+----------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| The method for resolving unknown imports to Bazel dependencies. May be            |
| :value:`external` or :value:`vendored`.                                           |
+----------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| :param:`build_tags`  | :type:`string_list` | :value:`[]`                          |
+----------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| The last of Go build tags that Gazelle should consider to always be true.         |
+----------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| :param:`prefix`      | :type:`string`      | |mandatory|                          |
+----------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| The import path that corresponds to the repository root directory.                |
| TODO(#26): this should be optional.                                               |
+----------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| :param:`extra_args`  | :type:`string_list` | :value:`[]`                          |
+----------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| A list of extra command line arguments passed to Gazelle.                         |
+----------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| :param:`command`     | :type:`string`      | :value:`update`                      |
+----------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| The Gazelle command to use. May be :value:`fix` or :value:`update`. To run        |
| a different command, e.g., :value:`update-repos`, you'll need to copy the         |
| invoke the generated wrapper script directly with explicit arguments.             |
+----------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------------+

``fix`` and ``update``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ``update`` command is the most common way of running Gazelle. Gazelle will
scan sources in directories throughout the repository, then create and update
build files.

The ``fix`` command does everything ``update`` does, but it also fixes
deprecated usage of rules, analogous to ``go fix``. For example, ``cgo_library``
will be consolidated with ``go_library``. This command may delete or rename
rules, so it's not on by default. See `Fix command transformations`_
for details.

Both commands accept a list of directories to process as positional arguments.
If no directories are specified, Gazelle will process the current directory.
Subdirectories will be processed recursively.

The following flags are accepted:

+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| **Name**                                                     | **Default value**                 |
+==============================================================+===================================+
| :flag:`-build_file_name file1,file2,...`                     | :value:`BUILD.bazel,BUILD`        |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Comma-separated list of file names. Gazelle recognizes these files as Bazel                      |
| build files. New files will use the first name in this list. Use this if                         |
| your project contains non-Bazel files named ``BUILD`` (or ``build`` on                           |
| case-insensitive file systems).                                                                  |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :flag:`-build_tags tag1,tag2`                                |                                   |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| List of Go build tags Gazelle will consider to be true. Gazelle applies                          |
| constraints when generating Go rules. It assumes certain tags are true on                        |
| certain platforms (for example, ``amd64,linux``). It assumes all Go release                      |
| tags are true (for example, ``go1.8``). It considers other tags to be false                      |
| (for example, ``ignore``). This flag overrides that behavior.                                    |
|                                                                                                  |
| Bazel may still filter sources with these tags. Use                                              |
| ``bazel build --features gotags=foo,bar`` to set tags at build time.                             |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :flag:`-external external|vendored`                          | :value:`external`                 |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Determines how Gazelle resolves import paths. May be :value:`external` or                        |
| :value:`vendored`. Gazelle translates Go import paths to Bazel labels when                       |
| resolving library dependencies. Import paths that start with the                                 |
| ``go_prefix`` are resolved to local labels, but other imports                                    |
| are resolved based on this mode. In :value:`external` mode, paths are                            |
| resolved using an external dependency in the WORKSPACE file (Gazelle does                        |
| not create or maintain these dependencies yet). In :value:`vendored` mode,                       |
| paths are resolved to a library in the vendor directory.                                         |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :flag:`-go_prefix example.com/repo`                          |                                   |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| A prefix of import paths for libraries in the repository that corresponds to                     |
| the repository root. Gazelle infers this from the ``go_prefix`` rule in the                      |
| root BUILD.bazel file, if it exists. If not, this option is mandatory.                           |
|                                                                                                  |
| This prefix is used to determine whether an import path refers to a library                      |
| in the current repository or an external dependency.                                             |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :flag:`-known_import example.com`                            |                                   |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Skips import path resolution for a known domain. May be repeated.                                |
|                                                                                                  |
| When Gazelle resolves an import path to an external dependency, it attempts                      |
| to discover the remote repository root over HTTP. Gazelle skips this                             |
| discovery step for a few well-known domains with predictable structure, like                     |
| golang.org and github.com. This flag specifies additional domains to skip,                       |
| which is useful in situations where the lookup would fail for some reason.                       |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :flag:`-mode fix|print|diff`                                 | :value:`fix`                      |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Method for emitting merged build files.                                                          |
|                                                                                                  |
| In ``fix`` mode, Gazelle writes generated and merged files to disk. In                           |
| ``print`` mode, it prints them to stdout. In ``diff`` mode, it prints a                          |
| unified diff.                                                                                    |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :flag:`-proto default|package|legacy|disable|disable_global` | :value:`default`                  |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Determines how Gazelle should generate rules for .proto files. See details                       |
| in `Directives`_ below.                                                                          |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :flag:`-proto_group group`                                   | :value:`""`                       |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Determines the proto option Gazelle uses to group .proto files into rules                        |
| when in ``package`` mode. See details in `Directives`_ below.                                    |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :flag:`-repo_root dir`                                       |                                   |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| The root directory of the repository. Gazelle normally infers this to be the                     |
| directory containing the WORKSPACE file.                                                         |
|                                                                                                  |
| Gazelle will not process packages outside this directory.                                        |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+

``update-repos``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ``update-repos`` command updates repository rules in the WORKSPACE file.
It can be used to add new repository rules or update existing rules to the 
latest version. It can also import repository rules from a dep Gopkg.lock file.

.. code:: bash

  # Add or update a repository by import path
  $ gazelle update-repos example.com/new/repo

  # Import repositories from Gopkg.lock
  $ gazelle update-repos -from_file=Gopkg.lock

:Note: ``update-repos`` is not directly supported by the ``gazelle`` rule.
  You can run it through the ``gazelle`` rule by passing extra arguments after
  ``--``. For example:

  .. code::

    $ bazel run //:gazelle -- update-repos example.com/new/repo

The following flags are accepted:

+------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| **Name**                     | **Default value**                             |
+==============================+===============================================+
| :flag:`-from_file lock-file` |                                               |
+------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Import repositories from a vendoring tool's lock file as `go_repository`_    |
| rules. These rules will be added to the bottom of WORKSPACE or merged with   |
| existing rules.                                                              |
|                                                                              |
| The lock file format is inferred from the file's base name. Currently, only  |
| Gopkg.lock is supported.                                                     |
+------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| :flag:`-repo_root dir`       |                                               |
+------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| The root directory of the repository. Gazelle normally infers this to be the |
| directory containing the WORKSPACE file.                                     |
|                                                                              |
| Gazelle will not process packages outside this directory.                    |
+------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+

Bazel rule
~~~~~~~~~~

When Gazelle is run by Bazel, most of the flags above can be encoded in the
``gazelle`` rule. For example:

.. code:: bzl

  load("@bazel_gazelle//:def.bzl", "gazelle")

  gazelle(
      name = "gazelle",
      command = "fix",
      prefix = "github.com/example/project",
      external = "vendored",
      build_tags = [
          "integration",
          "debug",
      ],
      extra_args = [
          "-build_file_name",
          "BUILD,BUILD.bazel",
      ],
  )

Directives
~~~~~~~~~~

Gazelle can be configured with *directives*, which are written as top-level
comments in build files. Most options that can be set on the command line
can also be set using directives. Some options can only be set with
directives.

Directive comments have the form ``# gazelle:key value``. For example:

.. code:: bzl

  load("@io_bazel_rules_go//go:def.bzl", "go_library")

  # gazelle:prefix github.com/example/project
  # gazelle:build_file_name BUILD,BUILD.bazel

  go_library(
      name = "go_default_library",

  )

Directives apply in the directory where they are set *and* in subdirectories.
This means, for example, if you set ``# gazelle:prefix`` in the build file
in your project's root directory, it affects your whole project. If you
set it in a subdirectory, it only affects rules in that subtree.

The following directives are recognized:

+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| **Directive**                            | **Default value**                 |
+==========================================+===================================+
| :direc:`# gazelle:build_file_name names` | :value:`BUILD.bazel,BUILD`        |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Comma-separated list of file names. Gazelle recognizes these files as Bazel  |
| build files. New files will use the first name in this list. Use this if     |
| your project contains non-Bazel files named ``BUILD`` (or ``build`` on       |
| case-insensitive file systems).                                              |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :direc:`# gazelle:build_tags foo,bar`    | none                              |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| List of Go build tags Gazelle will consider to be true. Gazelle applies      |
| constraints when generating Go rules. It assumes certain tags are true on    |
| certain platforms (for example, ``amd64,linux``). It assumes all Go release  |
| tags are true (for example, ``go1.8``). It considers other tags to be false  |
| (for example, ``ignore``). This flag overrides that behavior.                |
|                                                                              |
| Bazel may still filter sources with these tags. Use                          |
| ``bazel build --features gotags=foo,bar`` to set tags at build time.         |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :direc:`# gazelle:exclude path`          | n/a                               |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Prevents Gazelle from processing a file or directory. If the path refers to  |
| a source file, Gazelle won't include it in any rules. If the path refers to  |
| a directory, Gazelle won't recurse into it. The path may refer to something  |
| withinin a subdirectory, for example, a testdata directory somewhere in a    |
| vendor tree. This directive may be repeated to exclude multiple paths, one   |
| per line.                                                                    |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :direc:`# gazelle:ignore`                | n/a                               |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Prevents Gazelle from modifying the build file. Gazelle will still read      |
| rules in the build file and may modify build files in subdirectories.        |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :direc:`# gazelle:importmap_prefix path` | See below                         |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| A prefix for ``importmap`` attributes in library rules. Gazelle will set     |
| an ``importmap`` on a ``go_library`` or ``go_proto_library`` by              |
| concatenating this with the relative path from the directory where the       |
| prefix is set to the library. For example, if ``importmap_prefix`` is set    |
| to ``"x/example.com/repo"`` in the build file ``//foo/bar:BUILD.bazel``,     |
| then a library in ``foo/bar/baz`` will have the ``importmap`` of             |
| ``"x/example.com/repo/baz"``.                                                |
|                                                                              |
| ``importmap`` is not set when it matches ``importpath``.                     |
|                                                                              |
| As a special case, when Gazelle enters a directory named ``vendor``, it      |
| sets ``importmap_prefix`` to a string based on the repository name and the   |
| location of the vendor directory. If you wish to override this, you'll need  |
| to set ``importmap_prefix`` explicitly in the vendor directory.              |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :direc:`# gazelle:prefix path`           | n/a                               |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| A prefix for ``importpath`` attributes on library rules. Gazelle will set    |
| an ``importpath`` on a ``go_library`` or ``go_proto_library`` by             |
| concatenating this with the relative path from the directory where the       |
| prefix is set to the library. Most commonly, ``prefix`` is set to the        |
| name of a repository in the root directory of a repository. For example,     |
| in this repository, ``prefix`` is set in ``//:BUILD.bazel`` to               |
| ``github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-gazelle``. The ``go_library`` in               |
| ``//cmd/gazelle`` is assigned the ``importpath``                             |
| ``"github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-gazelle/cmd/gazelle"``.                       |
|                                                                              |
| As a special case, when Gazelle enters a directory named ``vendor``, it sets |
| ``prefix`` to the empty string. This automatically gives vendored libraries  |
| an intuitive ``importpath``.                                                 |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :direc:`proto`                           | :value:`default`                  |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Tells Gazelle how to generate rules for .proto files. Valid values are:      |
|                                                                              |
| * ``default``: ``proto_library``, ``go_proto_library``, and ``go_library``   |
|   rules are generated using ``@io_bazel_rules_go//proto:def.bzl``. Only one  |
|   of each rule may be generated per directory. This is the default mode.     |
| * ``package``: multiple ``proto_library`` and ``go_proto_library`` rules     |
|   may be generated in the same directory. .proto files are grouped into      |
|   rules based on their package name or another option (see ``proto_group``). |
| * ``legacy``: ``filegroup`` rules are generated for use by                   |
|   ``@io_bazel_rules_go//proto:go_proto_library.bzl``. ``go_proto_library``   |
|   rules must be written by hand. Gazelle will run in this mode automatically |
|   if ``go_proto_library.bzl`` is loaded to avoid disrupting existing         |
|   projects, but this can be overridden with a directive.                     |
| * ``disable``: .proto files are ignored. Gazelle will run in this mode       |
|   automatically if ``go_proto_library`` is loaded from any other source,     |
|   but this can be overridden with a directive.                               |
| * ``disable_global``: like ``disable`` mode, but also prevents Gazelle from  |
|   using any special cases in dependency resolution for Well Known Types and  |
|   Google APIs. Useful for avoiding build-time dependencies on protoc.        |
|                                                                              |
| This directive applies to the current directory and subdirectories. As a     |
| special case, when Gazelle enters a directory named ``vendor``, if the proto |
| mode isn't set explicitly in a parent directory or on the command line,      |
| Gazelle will run in ``disable`` mode. Additionally, if the file              |
| ``@io_bazel_rules_go//proto:go_proto_library.bzl`` is loaded, Gazelle        |
| will run in ``legacy`` mode.                                                 |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| :direc:`proto_group`                     | :value:`""`                       |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Specifies an option that Gazelle can use to group .proto files into rules    |
| when in ``package`` mode. For example, when set to ``go_package``, .proto    |
| files with the same ``option go_package`` will be grouped together.          |
|                                                                              |
| When this directive is set to the empty string, Gazelle will group packages  |
| by their proto package statement.                                            |
|                                                                              |
| Rule names are generated based on the last run of identifier characters      |
| in the package name. For example, if the package is ``"foo/bar/baz"``, the   |
| ``proto_library`` rule will be named ``baz_proto``.                          |
+------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+

Keep comments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In addition to directives, Gazelle supports ``# keep`` comments that protect
parts of build files from being modified. ``# keep`` may be written before
a rule, before an attribute, or after a string within a list.

Example
^^^^^^^

Suppose you have a library that includes a generated .go file. Gazelle won't
know what imports to resolve, so you may need to add dependencies manually with
``# keep`` comments.

.. code:: bzl

  load("@io_bazel_rules_go//go:def.bzl", "go_library")
  load("@com_github_example_gen//:gen.bzl", "gen_go_file")

  gen_go_file(
      name = "magic",
      srcs = ["magic.go.in"],
      outs = ["magic.go"],
  )

  go_library(
      name = "go_default_library",
      srcs = ["magic.go"],
      visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
      deps = [
          "@com_github_example_gen//:go_default_library",  # keep
      ],
  )

Fix command transformations
---------------------------

Gazelle will generate and update build files when invoked with either
``gazelle update`` or ``gazelle fix`` (``update`` is the default). Both commands
perform several transformations to fix deprecated usage of the Go rules.
``update`` performs a safe set of tranformations, while ``fix`` performs some
additional transformations that may delete or rename rules.

The following transformations are performed:

**Migrate library to embed (fix and update):** Gazelle replaces ``library``
attributes with ``embed`` attributes.

**Migrate gRPC compilers (fix and update):** Gazelle converts
``go_grpc_library`` rules to ``go_proto_library`` rules with
``compilers = ["@io_bazel_rules_go//proto:go_grpc"]``.

**Flatten srcs (fix and update):** Gazelle converts ``srcs`` attributes that
use OS and architecture-specific ``select`` expressions to flat lists.
rules_go filters these sources anyway.

**Squash cgo libraries (fix only)**: Gazelle will remove `cgo_library` rules
named ``cgo_default_library`` and merge their attributes with a ``go_library``
rule in the same package named ``go_default_library``. If no such ``go_library``
rule exists, a new one will be created. Other ``cgo_library`` rules will not be
removed.

**Squash external tests (fix only)**: Gazelle will squash ``go_test`` rules
named ``go_default_xtest`` into ``go_default_test``. Earlier versions of
rules_go required internal and external tests to be built separately, but
this is no longer needed.

**Remove legacy protos (fix only)**: Gazelle will remove usage of
``go_proto_library``rules loaded from
``@io_bazel_rules_go//proto:go_proto_library.bzl`` and ``filegroup`` rules named
``go_default_library_protos``. Newly generated proto rules will take their
place. Since ``filegroup`` isn't needed anymore and ``go_proto_library`` has
different attributes and was always written by hand, Gazelle will not attempt to
merge anything from these rules with the newly generated rules.

This transformation is only applied in the default proto mode. Since Gazelle
will run in legacy proto mode if ``go_proto_library.bzl`` is loaded, this
transformation is not usually applied. You can set the proto mode explicitly
using the directive ``# gazelle:proto default``.
