See the -[examples](./tests) and the [API reference](#Rules) below to adapt these for -you project. Then, - -```console -$ bazel build //... # Build all targets -$ bazel test //... # Run all tests -``` - -You can learn more about Bazel's command line -syntax [here][bazel-cli]. Common [commands][bazel-cli-commands] are -`build`, `test`, `run` and `coverage`. - -### Nixpkgs - -This rule set supports [Nixpkgs][nixpkgs].

Please see languages listed below about how. - -### C/C++ - -C/C++ libraries can be specified as dependencies. Exporting Haskell libraries -as C/C++ dependencies currently requires the `cc_haskell_import` rule. This is -a temporary workaround to Bazel limitations. - -### Java - -You can supply `java_*` rule targets in `deps` of -[haskell_binary](#haskell_binary) and -[haskell_library](#haskell_library). This will make jars produced by -those dependencies available during Haskell source compilation phase -(i.e. not during linking &c. but it's subject to change) and set the -CLASSPATH for that phase as well. - -## Troubleshooting - -### No such file or directory - -If you see error messages complaining about missing `as` (`ld` or indeed -some other executable): - -``` -cc: error trying to exec 'as': execvp: No such file or directory -`cc' failed in phase `Assembler'. (Exit code: 1) -``` - -It means that your `gcc` cannot find `as` by itself. This happens only on -certain operating systems which have `gcc` compiled without `--with-as` and -`--with-ld` flags. We need to make `as` visible manually in that case: - -```bzl -# Create a symlink to system executable 'as' -genrule( - name = "toolchain_as", - outs = ["as"], - cmd = "ln -s /usr/bin/as $@", -) - -# Make it visible to rules_haskell rules: -haskell_toolchain( - name = "ghc", - tools = ["@ghc//:bin"], - version = "8.4.1", - extra_binaries = [":toolchain_as"], # <---- -) -``` - -### `__STDC_VERSION__` does not advertise C99 or later - -If you see an error message like this: - -``` -/root/.cache/bazel/_bazel_root/b8b1b1d6144a88c698a010767d2217af/external/ghc/lib/ghc-8.4.1/include/Stg.h:29:3: error: - error: #error __STDC_VERSION__ does not advertise C99 or later - # error __STDC_VERSION__ does not advertise C99 or later - ^ - | -29 | # error __STDC_VERSION__ does not advertise C99 or later - | ^ -``` - -It means that your `gcc` selects incorrect flavor of C by default. We need -C99 or later, as the error message says, so try this: - -```bzl -haskell_toolchain( - name = "ghc", - tools = ["@ghc//:bin"], - version = "8.4.1", - compiler_flags = ["-optc-std=c99"], # <---- -) -``` - -### `bazel` fails because some executable cannot be found - -Make sure you run your build in a pure nix shell -(`nix-shell --pure shell.nix`). If it still doesn’t build, -it is likely a bug. - -### A Haskell dependency fails with strange error messages - -If you get cabal error messages the likes of: - -``` -CallStack (from HasCallStack): - dieNoWrap, called at libraries/Cabal/Cabal/Distribution/Utils/LogProgress.hs:61:9 in Cabal-2.0.1.0:Distribution.Utils.LogProgress -Error: - The following packages are broken because other packages they depend on are missing. These broken packages must be rebuilt before they can be used. -installed package lens-labels-0.2.0.1 is broken due to missing package profunctors-5.2.2-HzcVdviprlKb7Ap1woZu4, tagged-0.8.5-HviTdonkllN1ZD6he1Zn8I -``` - -you’ve most likely hit GHC’s -[infamous non-deterministic library ID bug](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#how-to-recover-from-ghcs-infamous-non-deterministic-library-id-bug). - -### Warning about home modules during non-sandboxed builds - -Say you have a folder that mixes source files for two different -libraries or for a library and an executable. If you build with -sandboxing turned off, it is possible that GHC will use the source -files for one library during the build of the other. The danger in -this situation is that because GHC used inputs that Bazel didn't know -about, incremental rebuilds might not be correct. This is why you get -a warning of the following form if this happens: - -``` -<no location info>: warning: [-Wmissing-home-modules] - Modules are not listed in command line but needed for compilation: Foo -``` - -Turning sandboxing on (this is Bazel's default on Linux and macOS) -protects against this problem. If sandboxing is not an option, simply -put the source files for each target in a separate directory (you can -still use a single `BUILD` file to define all targets). - -## For `rules_haskell` developers - -### Saving common command-line flags to a file - -If you find yourself constantly passing the same flags on the -command-line for certain commands (such as `--host_platform` or -`--compiler`), you can augment the [`.bazelrc`](./.bazelrc) file in -this repository with a `.bazelrc.local` file. This file is ignored by -Git. - -### Reference a local checkout of `rules_haskell` - -When you develop on `rules_haskell`, you usually do it in the context -of a different project that has `rules_haskell` as a `WORKSPACE` -dependency, like so: - -``` -http_archive( - name = "io_tweag_rules_haskell", - strip_prefix = "rules_haskell-" + version, - sha256 = …, - urls = …, -) -``` - -To reference a local checkout instead, use the -[`--override_repository`][override_repository] command line option: - -``` -bazel build/test/run/sync \ - --override_repository io_tweag_rules_haskell=/path/to/checkout -``` - -If you don’t want to type that every time, [temporarily add it to -`.bazelrc`][bazelrc]. - -[override_repository]: https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/command-line-reference.html#flag--override_repository -[local_repository]: https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/be/workspace.html#local_repository -[bazelrc]: https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/best-practices.html#bazelrc - -### Test Suite - -To run the test suite for these rules, you'll need [Nix][nix] -installed. First, from the project’s folder start a pure nix shell: - -``` -$ nix-shell --pure shell.nix -``` - -This will make sure that bazel has the exact same environment -on every development system (`python`, `ghc`, `go`, …). - -To build and run tests locally, execute: - -``` -$ bazel test //... -``` - -Skylark code in this project is formatted according to the output of -[buildifier]. You can check that the formatting is correct using: - -``` -$ bazel run //:buildifier -``` - -If tests fail then run the following to fix the formatting: - -``` -$ git rebase --exec "bazel run //:buildifier-fix" <first commit> -``` - -where `<first commit>` is the first commit in your pull request. -This fixes formatting for each of your commits separately, to keep -the history clean. - -[buildifier]: https://github.com/bazelbuild/buildtools/tree/master/buildifier - -### <a name="nixpkgs-pin" />How to update the nixpkgs pin - -You have to find a new git commit where all our `shell.nix` -dependencies are available from the official NixOS Hydra binary cache. - -At least for `x86-linux` this is guaranteed for the `unstable` -channels. You can find the `nixpkgs` git commit of current `unstable` -here: - -https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable/git-revision - -That might be too old for your use-case (because all tests have to -pass for that channel to be updated), so as a fallback there is: - -https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable-small/git-revision - -You copy that hash to `url` in -[`./nixpkgs/default.nix`](./nixpkgs/default.nix). Don’t forget to -change the `sha256` or it will use the old version. Please update the -date comment to the date of the `nixpkgs` commit you are pinning to. - -### CircleCI - -Pull Requests are checked by CircleCI. - -If a check fails and you cannot reproduce it locally (e.g. it failed on Darwin -and you only run Linux), you can [ssh into CircleCI to aid debugging][ci-ssh]. - -[ci-ssh]: https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/ssh-access-jobs/ - -#### “unable to start any build” - -``` -error: unable to start any build; either increase '--max-jobs' or enable remote builds -``` - -We set `--builders ""` and `--max-jobs 0` on CI to be sure all -dependencies are coming from binary caches. You might need to add an -exception (TODO: where to add exception) or [switch to a different -nixpkgs pin](#nixpkgs-pin). |
