ngalaiko / bazel-action

A GitHub action to run @bazelbuild commands

DO NOT USE

The existence of this action is completely unnecessary when basilisk project exists, consider using it instead.

Cons:

• no docker
• easier to install dependencies like clang #16
• bazelisk takes care of version updates #19
• actions/cache can be used to persist cache #23

with field	Description
working_dir	Sets the directory that bazel will run in.

bazel version

In order to speed up builds, ngalaiko/bazel-action/<version>@<tag> uses prebuilt images with installed bazel and all dependencies. Images are stored in the DockerHub.

If you need a specific bazel version, you can import it by changeing uses import path. For example:

uses: ngalaiko/bazel-action/2.0.0@master

or

uses: ngalaiko/bazel-action/1.2.1@master

If you need another version, please open an issue, or send a PR.

If you don't want to use a prebuild image, the action with the bazel's latest version is always accessible via

uses: ngalaiko/bazel-action@master
