Rust rules

capture_clippy_output

Control whether to print clippy output or store it to a file, using the configured error_format.

ATTRIBUTES

NameDescriptionTypeMandatoryDefault
nameA unique name for this target.Namerequired

cargo_dep_env

A rule for generating variables for dependent cargo_build_scripts without a build script. This is useful for using Bazel rules instead of a build script, while also generating configuration information for build scripts which depend on this crate.

ATTRIBUTES

NameDescriptionTypeMandatoryDefault
nameA unique name for this target.Namerequired
srcFile containing additional environment variables to set for build scripts of direct dependencies.

This has the same effect as a cargo_build_script which prints cargo:VAR=VALUE lines, but without requiring a build script.

This files should contain a single variable per line, of format NAME=value, and newlines may be included in a value by ending a line with a trailing back-slash (\\).
Labelrequired
out_dirFolder containing additional inputs when building all direct dependencies.

This has the same effect as a cargo_build_script which prints puts files into $OUT_DIR, but without requiring a build script.
LabeloptionalNone

error_format

Change the --error-format flag from the command line with --@rules_rust//:error_format. See rustc documentation for valid values.

ATTRIBUTES

NameDescriptionTypeMandatoryDefault
nameA unique name for this target.Namerequired

extra_rustc_flag

Add additional rustc_flag from the command line with --@rules_rust//:extra_rustc_flag. Multiple uses are accumulated and appended after the extra_rustc_flags.

ATTRIBUTES

NameDescriptionTypeMandatoryDefault
nameA unique name for this target.Namerequired

extra_rustc_flags

Add additional rustc_flags from the command line with --@rules_rust//:extra_rustc_flags. This flag should only be used for flags that need to be applied across the entire build. For options that apply to individual crates, use the rustc_flags attribute on the individual crate's rule instead. NOTE: These flags not applied to the exec configuration (proc-macros, cargo_build_script, etc); use --@rules_rust//:extra_exec_rustc_flags to apply flags to the exec configuration.

rust_binary

Builds a Rust binary crate.

Example:

Suppose you have the following directory structure for a Rust project with a library crate, hello_lib, and a binary crate, hello_world that uses the hello_lib library:

[workspace]/
    WORKSPACE
    hello_lib/
        BUILD
        src/
            lib.rs
    hello_world/
        BUILD
        src/
            main.rs

hello_lib/src/lib.rs:

pub struct Greeter {
    greeting: String,
}

impl Greeter {
    pub fn new(greeting: &str) -> Greeter {
        Greeter { greeting: greeting.to_string(), }
    }

    pub fn greet(&self, thing: &str) {
        println!("{} {}", &self.greeting, thing);
    }
}

hello_lib/BUILD:

package(default_visibility = ["//visibility:public"])

load("@rules_rust//rust:defs.bzl", "rust_library")

rust_library(
    name = "hello_lib",
    srcs = ["src/lib.rs"],
)

hello_world/src/main.rs:

extern crate hello_lib;

fn main() {
    let hello = hello_lib::Greeter::new("Hello");
    hello.greet("world");
}

hello_world/BUILD:

load("@rules_rust//rust:defs.bzl", "rust_binary")

rust_binary(
    name = "hello_world",
    srcs = ["src/main.rs"],
    deps = ["//hello_lib"],
)

Build and run hello_world:

$ bazel run //hello_world
INFO: Found 1 target...
Target //examples/rust/hello_world:hello_world up-to-date:

On Windows, a PDB file containing debugging information is available under the key pdb_file in OutputGroupInfo. Similarly on macOS, a dSYM folder is available under the key dsym_folder in OutputGroupInfo.

ATTRIBUTES

NameDescriptionTypeMandatoryDefault
nameA unique name for this target.Namerequired
depsList of other libraries to be linked to this library target.

These can be either other rust_library targets or cc_library targets if linking a native library.
List of labelsoptional[]
srcsList of Rust .rs source files used to build the library.

If srcs contains more than one file, then there must be a file either named lib.rs. Otherwise, crate_root must be set to the source file that is the root of the crate to be passed to rustc to build this crate.
List of labelsoptional[]
dataList of files used by this rule at compile time and runtime.

If including data at compile time with include_str!() and similar, prefer compile_data over data, to prevent the data also being included in the runfiles.
List of labelsoptional[]
aliasesRemap crates to a new name or moniker for linkage to this target

These are other rust_library targets and will be presented as the new name given.
Dictionary: Label -> Stringoptional{}
alwayslinkIf 1, any binary that depends (directly or indirectly) on this library will link in all the object files even if some contain no symbols referenced by the binary.

This attribute is used by the C++ Starlark API when passing CcInfo providers.
BooleanoptionalFalse
compile_dataList of files used by this rule at compile time.

This attribute can be used to specify any data files that are embedded into the library, such as via the include_str! macro.
List of labelsoptional[]
crate_featuresList of features to enable for this crate.

Features are defined in the code using the #[cfg(feature = "foo")] configuration option. The features listed here will be passed to rustc with --cfg feature="${feature_name}" flags.
List of stringsoptional[]
crate_nameCrate name to use for this target.

This must be a valid Rust identifier, i.e. it may contain only alphanumeric characters and underscores. Defaults to the target name, with any hyphens replaced by underscores.
Stringoptional""
crate_rootThe file that will be passed to rustc to be used for building this crate.

If crate_root is not set, then this rule will look for a lib.rs file (or main.rs for rust_binary) or the single file in srcs if srcs contains only one file.
LabeloptionalNone
crate_typeCrate type that will be passed to rustc to be used for building this crate.

This option is a temporary workaround and should be used only when building for WebAssembly targets (//rust/platform:wasi and //rust/platform:wasm).
Stringoptional"bin"
editionThe rust edition to use for this crate. Defaults to the edition specified in the rust_toolchain.Stringoptional""
envSpecifies additional environment variables to set when the target is executed by bazel run. Values are subject to $(rootpath), $(execpath), location, and “Make variable” substitution.

Execpath returns absolute path, and in order to be able to construct the absolute path we need to wrap the test binary in a launcher. Using a launcher comes with complications, such as more complicated debugger attachment.
Dictionary: String -> Stringoptional{}
experimental_use_cc_common_linkWhether to use cc_common.link to link rust binaries. Possible values: [-1, 0, 1]. -1 means use the value of the toolchain.experimental_use_cc_common_link boolean build setting to determine. 0 means do not use cc_common.link (use rustc instead). 1 means use cc_common.link.Integeroptional-1
linker_scriptLink script to forward into linker via rustc options.LabeloptionalNone
mallocOverride the default dependency on malloc.

By default, Rust binaries linked with cc_common.link are linked against @bazel_tools//tools/cpp:malloc", which is an empty library and the resulting binary will use libc's malloc. This label must refer to a cc_library rule.
Labeloptional"@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:malloc"
out_binaryForce a target, regardless of it's crate_type, to always mark the file as executable. This attribute is only used to support wasm targets but is expected to be removed following a resolution to https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/issues/771.BooleanoptionalFalse
platformOptional platform to transition the binary to.LabeloptionalNone
proc_macro_depsList of rust_proc_macro targets used to help build this library target.List of labelsoptional[]
rustc_envDictionary of additional "key": "value" environment variables to set for rustc.

rust_test()/rust_binary() rules can use $(rootpath //package:target) to pass in the location of a generated file or external tool. Cargo build scripts that wish to expand locations should use cargo_build_script()'s build_script_env argument instead, as build scripts are run in a different environment - see cargo_build_script()'s documentation for more.
Dictionary: String -> Stringoptional{}
rustc_env_filesFiles containing additional environment variables to set for rustc.

These files should contain a single variable per line, of format NAME=value, and newlines may be included in a value by ending a line with a trailing back-slash (\\).

The order that these files will be processed is unspecified, so multiple definitions of a particular variable are discouraged.

Note that the variables here are subject to workspace status stamping should the stamp attribute be enabled. Stamp variables should be wrapped in brackets in order to be resolved. E.g. NAME={WORKSPACE_STATUS_VARIABLE}.
List of labelsoptional[]
rustc_flagsList of compiler flags passed to rustc.

These strings are subject to Make variable expansion for predefined source/output path variables like $location, $execpath, and $rootpath. This expansion is useful if you wish to pass a generated file of arguments to rustc: @$(location //package:target).
List of stringsoptional[]
stampWhether to encode build information into the Rustc action. Possible values:

- stamp = 1: Always stamp the build information into the Rustc action, even in --nostamp builds. This setting should be avoided, since it potentially kills remote caching for the target and any downstream actions that depend on it.

- stamp = 0: Always replace build information by constant values. This gives good build result caching.

- stamp = -1: Embedding of build information is controlled by the --[no]stamp flag.

Stamped targets are not rebuilt unless their dependencies change.

For example if a rust_library is stamped, and a rust_binary depends on that library, the stamped library won't be rebuilt when we change sources of the rust_binary. This is different from how cc_library.linkstamps behaves.
Integeroptional-1
versionA version to inject in the cargo environment variable.Stringoptional"0.0.0"

rust_bindgen

Generates a rust source file from a cc_library and a header.

ATTRIBUTES

NameDescriptionTypeMandatoryDefault
nameA unique name for this target.Namerequired
bindgen_flagsFlags to pass directly to the bindgen executable. See https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-bindgen/ for details.List of stringsoptional[]
cc_libThe cc_library that contains the .h file. This is used to find the transitive includes.Labelrequired
clang_flagsFlags to pass directly to the clang executable.List of stringsoptional[]
headerThe .h file to generate bindings for.Labelrequired
wrap_static_fnsWhether to create a separate .c file for static fns. Requires nightly toolchain, and a header that actually needs this feature (otherwise bindgen won't generate the file and Bazel complains).BooleanoptionalFalse

rust_bindgen_toolchain

The tools required for the rust_bindgen rule.

This rule depends on the bindgen binary crate, and it in turn depends on both a clang binary and the clang library. To obtain these dependencies, rust_bindgen_dependencies imports bindgen and its dependencies.

load("@rules_rust//bindgen:defs.bzl", "rust_bindgen_toolchain")

rust_bindgen_toolchain(
    name = "bindgen_toolchain_impl",
    bindgen = "//my/rust:bindgen",
    clang = "//my/clang:clang",
    libclang = "//my/clang:libclang.so",
    libstdcxx = "//my/cpp:libstdc++",
)

toolchain(
    name = "bindgen_toolchain",
    toolchain = "bindgen_toolchain_impl",
    toolchain_type = "@rules_rust//bindgen:toolchain_type",
)

This toolchain will then need to be registered in the current WORKSPACE. For additional information, see the Bazel toolchains documentation.

libclangA cc_library that provides bindgen's runtime dependency on libclang.LabeloptionalNone
libstdcxxA cc_library that satisfies libclang's libstdc++ dependency. This is used to make the execution of clang hermetic. If None, system libraries will be used instead.LabeloptionalNone

rust_clippy

Executes the clippy checker on a specific target.

Similar to rust_clippy_aspect, but allows specifying a list of dependencies within the build system.

For example, given the following example targets:

load("@rules_rust//rust:defs.bzl", "rust_library", "rust_test")

rust_library(
    name = "hello_lib",
    srcs = ["src/lib.rs"],
)

rust_test(
    name = "greeting_test",
    srcs = ["tests/greeting.rs"],
    deps = [":hello_lib"],
)

Rust clippy can be set as a build target with the following:

load("@rules_rust//rust:defs.bzl", "rust_clippy")

rust_clippy(
    name = "hello_library_clippy",
    testonly = True,
    deps = [
        ":hello_lib",
        ":greeting_test",
    ],
)

ATTRIBUTES

rust_doc

Generates code documentation.

Example: Suppose you have the following directory structure for a Rust library crate:

[workspace]/
    WORKSPACE
    hello_lib/
        BUILD
        src/
            lib.rs

To build rustdoc documentation for the hello_lib crate, define a rust_doc rule that depends on the the hello_lib rust_library target:

package(default_visibility = ["//visibility:public"])

load("@rules_rust//rust:defs.bzl", "rust_library", "rust_doc")

rust_library(
    name = "hello_lib",
    srcs = ["src/lib.rs"],
)

rust_doc(
    name = "hello_lib_doc",
    crate = ":hello_lib",
)

Running bazel build //hello_lib:hello_lib_doc will build a zip file containing the documentation for the hello_lib library crate generated by rustdoc.

ATTRIBUTES

Example:

Suppose you have the following directory structure for a Rust library crate:

[workspace]/
WORKSPACE
hello_lib/
    BUILD
    src/
        lib.rs

To run documentation tests for the hello_lib crate, define a rust_doc_test target that depends on the hello_lib rust_library target:

package(default_visibility = ["//visibility:public"])

load("@rules_rust//rust:defs.bzl", "rust_library", "rust_doc_test")

rust_library(
    name = "hello_lib",
    srcs = ["src/lib.rs"],
)

rust_doc_test(
    name = "hello_lib_doc_test",
    crate = ":hello_lib",

rust_proto_library

Builds a Rust library crate from a set of proto_librarys.

Example:

load("@rules_rust//proto/protobuf:defs.bzl", "rust_proto_library")

proto_library(

rust_test

Builds a Rust test crate.

Examples:

Suppose you have the following directory structure for a Rust library crate with unit test code in the library sources:

[workspace]/
    WORKSPACE
    hello_lib/
        BUILD
        src/
            lib.rs

hello_lib/src/lib.rs:

pub struct Greeter {
    greeting: String,
}

impl Greeter {
    pub fn new(greeting: &str) -> Greeter {
        Greeter { greeting: greeting.to_string(), }
    }

    pub fn greet(&self, thing: &str) -> String {
        format!("{} {}", &self.greeting, thing)
    }
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod test {
    use super::Greeter;

    #[test]
    fn test_greeting() {
        let hello = Greeter::new("Hi");
        assert_eq!("Hi Rust", hello.greet("Rust"));
    }
}

To build and run the tests, simply add a rust_test rule with no srcs and only depends on the hello_lib rust_library target via the crate attribute:

hello_lib/BUILD:

load("@rules_rust//rust:defs.bzl", "rust_library", "rust_test")

rust_library(
    name = "hello_lib",
    srcs = ["src/lib.rs"],
)

rust_test(
    name = "hello_lib_test",
    crate = ":hello_lib",
    # You may add other deps that are specific to the test configuration
    deps = ["//some/dev/dep"],
)

Run the test with bazel test //hello_lib:hello_lib_test.

Example: test directory

Integration tests that live in the tests directory, they are essentially built as separate crates. Suppose you have the following directory structure where greeting.rs is an integration test for the hello_lib library crate:

[workspace]/
    WORKSPACE
    hello_lib/
        BUILD
        src/
            lib.rs
        tests/
            greeting.rs

hello_lib/tests/greeting.rs:

extern crate hello_lib;

use hello_lib;

#[test]
fn test_greeting() {
    let hello = greeter::Greeter::new("Hello");
    assert_eq!("Hello world", hello.greeting("world"));
}

To build the greeting.rs integration test, simply add a rust_test target with greeting.rs in srcs and a dependency on the hello_lib target:

hello_lib/BUILD:

load("@rules_rust//rust:defs.bzl", "rust_library", "rust_test")

rust_library(
    name = "hello_lib",
    srcs = ["src/lib.rs"],
)

rust_test(
    name = "greeting_test",
    srcs = ["tests/greeting.rs"],
    deps = [":hello_lib"],
)

Run the test with bazel test //hello_lib:greeting_test.

rust_toolchain

Declares a Rust toolchain for use.

This is for declaring a custom toolchain, eg. for configuring a particular version of rust or supporting a new platform.

Example:

Suppose the core rust team has ported the compiler to a new target CPU, called cpuX. This support can be used in Bazel by defining a new toolchain definition and declaration:

load('@rules_rust//rust:toolchain.bzl', 'rust_toolchain')

rust_toolchain(
    name = "rust_cpuX_impl",
    binary_ext = "",
    dylib_ext = ".so",
    exec_triple = "cpuX-unknown-linux-gnu",
    rust_doc = "@rust_cpuX//:rustdoc",
    rust_std = "@rust_cpuX//:rust_std",
    rustc = "@rust_cpuX//:rustc",
    rustc_lib = "@rust_cpuX//:rustc_lib",
    staticlib_ext = ".a",
    stdlib_linkflags = ["-lpthread", "-ldl"],
    target_triple = "cpuX-unknown-linux-gnu",
)

toolchain(
    name = "rust_cpuX",
    exec_compatible_with = [
        "@platforms//cpu:cpuX",
        "@platforms//os:linux",
    ],
    target_compatible_with = [
        "@platforms//cpu:cpuX",
        "@platforms//os:linux",
    ],
    toolchain = ":rust_cpuX_impl",
)

Then, either add the label of the toolchain rule to register_toolchains in the WORKSPACE, or pass it to the "--extra_toolchains" flag for Bazel, and it will be used.

See @rules_rust//rust:repositories.bzl for examples of defining the @rust_cpuX repository with the actual binaries and libraries.

rust_wasm_bindgen_toolchain

The tools required for the rust_wasm_bindgen rule.

In cases where users want to control or change the version of wasm-bindgen used by rust_wasm_bindgen, a unique toolchain can be created as in the example below:

load("@rules_rust//bindgen:bindgen.bzl", "rust_bindgen_toolchain")

rust_bindgen_toolchain(
    bindgen = "//3rdparty/crates:wasm_bindgen_cli__bin",
)

    name = "wasm_bindgen_toolchain",
    toolchain = "wasm_bindgen_toolchain_impl",
    toolchain_type = "@rules_rust//wasm_bindgen:toolchain_type",
)

Now that you have your own toolchain, you need to register it by inserting the following statement in your WORKSPACE file:

register_toolchains("//my/toolchains:wasm_bindgen_toolchain")

For additional information, see the Bazel toolchains documentation.

cargo_build_script

Compile and execute a rust build script to generate build attributes

This rules take the same arguments as rust_binary.

Example:

Suppose you have a crate with a cargo build script build.rs:

[workspace]/
    hello_lib/
        BUILD
        build.rs
        src/
            lib.rs

Then you want to use the build script in the following:

hello_lib/BUILD:

package(default_visibility = ["//visibility:public"])

load("@rules_rust//rust:defs.bzl", "rust_binary", "rust_library")
load("@rules_rust//cargo:defs.bzl", "cargo_build_script")

# This will run the build script from the root of the workspace, and
# collect the outputs.
cargo_build_script(
    name = "build_script",
    srcs = ["build.rs"],
    # Optional environment variables passed during build.rs compilation
    rustc_env = {
       "CARGO_PKG_VERSION": "0.1.2",
    },
    # Optional environment variables passed during build.rs execution.
    # Note that as the build script's working directory is not execroot,
    # execpath/location will return an absolute path, instead of a relative
    # one.
    build_script_env = {
        "SOME_TOOL_OR_FILE": "$(execpath @tool//:binary)"
    },
    # Optional data/tool dependencies
    data = ["@tool//:binary"],
)

rust_library(
    name = "hello_lib",
    srcs = [
        "src/lib.rs",
    ],
    deps = [":build_script"],
)

The hello_lib target will be build with the flags and the environment variables declared by the build script in addition to the file generated by it.

PARAMETERS

NameDescriptionDefault Value
nameThe name for the underlying rule. This should be the name of the package being compiled, optionally with a suffix of _bs. Otherwise, you can set the package name via pkg_name.none
editionThe rust edition to use for the internal binary crate.None
crate_nameCrate name to use for build script.None
crate_rootThe file that will be passed to rustc to be used for building this crate.None
srcsSouce files of the crate to build. Passing source files here can be used to trigger rebuilds when changes are made.[]
crate_featuresA list of features to enable for the build script.[]
versionThe semantic version (semver) of the crate.None
depsThe build-dependencies of the crate.[]

build_script_envEnvironment variables for build scripts.{}
dataFiles needed by the build script.[]
compile_dataFiles needed for the compilation of the build script.[]
toolsTools (executables) needed by the build script.[]
linksName of the native library this crate links against.None
rundirA directory to cd to before the cargo_build_script is run. This should be a path relative to the exec root.

The default behaviour (and the behaviour if rundir is set to the empty string) is to change to the relative path corresponding to the cargo manifest directory, which replicates the normal behaviour of cargo so it is easy to write compatible build scripts.

If set to ., the cargo build script will run in the exec root.
None
rustc_envEnvironment variables to set in rustc when compiling the build script.{}
rustc_env_filesFiles containing additional environment variables to set for rustc when building the build script.[]
rustc_flagsList of compiler flags passed to rustc.[]
visibilityVisibility to apply to the generated build script output.None
tags(list of str, optional): Tags to apply to the generated build script output.None
aliasesRemap crates to a new name or moniker for linkage to this target. These are other rust_library targets and will be presented as the new name given.None
pkg_nameOverride the package name used for the build script. This is useful if the build target name gets too long otherwise.None
kwargsForwards to the underlying rust_binary rule. An exception is the compatible_with attribute, which shouldn't be forwarded to the rust_binary, as the rust_binary is only built and used in exec mode. We propagate the compatible_with attribute to the _build_scirpt_run target.none

repo_mappingIn WORKSPACE context only: a dictionary from local repository name to global repository name. This allows controls over workspace dependency resolution for dependencies of this repository.

For example, an entry "@foo": "@bar" declares that, for any time this repository depends on @foo (such as a dependency on @foo//some:target, it should actually resolve that dependency within globally-declared @bar (@bar//some:target).

This attribute is not supported in MODULE.bazel context (when invoking a repository rule inside a module extension's implementation function).
