cargo_bootstrap_repository

A rule for bootstrapping a Rust binary using Cargo

ATTRIBUTES

Name	Description	Type	Mandatory	Default
name	A unique name for this repository.	Name	required
binary	The binary to build (the --bin parameter for Cargo). If left empty, the repository name will be used.	String	optional	""
build_mode	The build mode the binary should be built with	String	optional	“release”
cargo_lockfile	The lockfile of the crate_universe resolver	Label	required
cargo_toml	The path of the crate_universe resolver manifest (Cargo.toml file)	Label	required
iso_date	The iso_date of cargo binary the resolver should use. Note: This can only be set if version is beta or nightly	String	optional	""
repo_mapping	A dictionary from local repository name to global repository name. This allows controls over workspace dependency resolution for dependencies of this repository.<p>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).	Dictionary: String -> String	required
rust_toolchain_repository_template	The template to use for finding the host rust_toolchain repository. {version} (eg. ‘1.53.0’), {triple} (eg. ‘x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu’), {system} (eg. ‘darwin’), and {arch} (eg. ‘aarch64’) will be replaced in the string if present.	String	optional	“rust_{system}_{arch}”
srcs	Souces to crate to build.	List of labels	required
version	The version of cargo the resolver should use	String	optional	“1.54.0”

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