• Bazel has a configuration file called .bazelrc. You can put a global configuration file at ~/.bazelrc or a per-repository file at .bazelrc.user in the root of your cockroach repo.

• Tired of running .dev gen bazel? Set the ALWAYS_RUN_GAZELLE env-var to automatically run ./dev gen bazel before every dev test or dev build incantation. Note this does add a tiny delay – noticeable when iterating on small tests through dev test.

  • i.e. echo 'export ALWAYS_RUN_GAZELLE=1' >> ~/.zshrc

• bazel will fail with an error like ccache: error: Failed to create temporary file for /home/alyshanjahani/.ccache/tmp/message_li.stdout: Read-only file system. To avoid this you should get the ccache links out of your PATH manually (i.e. uninstall ccache).

  • Alternatively, if you would like to use Bazel with ccache, you can enable support for writing outside the sandbox by adding the following to your $HOME/.bazelrc or <repo>/.bazelrc.user file:
    - For MacOS/Darwin:

    Code Block
    build --sandbox_writable_path=/Users/<USER>/Library/Caches/ccache/

    - For Linux:

    Code Block
    build --sandbox_writable_path=/home/<USER>/.ccache

If you’re using a different ccache directory (ccache --get-config cache_dir) point to that instead.

I just want to use Bazel directly 😠
