    I keep the experimentation on a branch exp/linting_system and we'll try something different, make out own tools.
  • Experimentations on Bazel: version.txt

    The sandbox_bazel is hosted on github (not with the same history, due to errors), use tag to have the expected view at end of article: article/3_versiontxt.
  • Experimentations on Bazel: github-action
    3 projects | dev.to | 14 Mar 2021
    Check the result on your actions page by example the on https://github.com/davidB/sandbox_bazel/actions this job took 23s.

    That's all for this serie's introduction. Thanks for reading until the end, sorry for this first non-technical post. The sandbox_bazel will be hosted on github, use tag to have the expected view at end of article: intro

    Finally someone mentioned Bazel which would be my primary choice as well given how intuitive, easy to use or extend. Handles very large codebases easily. Go with Bazelisk as launcher: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk
  • rust in an enterprise environment: keeping all rust installations at the same version

    I have to take a complete stab in the dark as GP's comment is deleted, but I think they may have referenced bazelisk (as that fits the context of version pinning).

    Bazel's single-binary distribution brings its own JVM, it has less dependencies than gn.

    Most people use Bazelisk: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk

    Now we have the minimum to build "nothing" with Bazel. So you need to install Bazel'cli. But I recommend you to install bazelisk, it will take care of installing the latest (or the project specific) version of Bazel. In the following articles, codes when you'll see bazel ... it could also be replaced by bazelisk ... (in fact some packaging of Bazel installs bazelisk and create an alias). For this step use your favorite way (distribution package system, download from github, homebrew,...).
