Shlib

NOTE: The functionality for this repository has moved to cgrindel/bazel-starlib.

Shlib is a library of Bash shell functions that are useful when implementing shell binaries, libraries, and tests.

Quickstart

The following provides a quick introduction on how to get started using the libraries in this repository.

Workspace Configuration

Add the following to your WORKSPACE file.

http_archive(
    name = "cgrindel_bazel_shlib",
    sha256 = "39c250852fb455e5de18f836c0c339075d6e52ea5ec52a76d62ef9e2eed56337",
    strip_prefix = "bazel_shlib-0.2.1",
    urls = ["https://github.com/cgrindel/bazel_shlib/archive/v0.2.1.tar.gz"],
)

load("@cgrindel_bazel_shlib//:deps.bzl", "shlib_rules_dependencies")

shlib_rules_dependencies()

load("@cgrindel_rules_bzlformat//bzlformat:deps.bzl", "bzlformat_rules_dependencies")

bzlformat_rules_dependencies()

load("@bazel_skylib//:workspace.bzl", "bazel_skylib_workspace")

bazel_skylib_workspace()

load("@cgrindel_bazel_starlib//:deps.bzl", "bazel_starlib_dependencies")

bazel_starlib_dependencies()

load("@cgrindel_rules_updatesrc//updatesrc:deps.bzl", "updatesrc_rules_dependencies")

updatesrc_rules_dependencies()

Reference Libraries As Dependencies

Add the desired library and the Bazel runfiles as a dependency to your shell binary, library, or test declaration. In this example, the sh_binary has a dependency on the paths.sh library.

sh_binary(
    name = "foo",
    srcs = ["foo.sh"],
    deps = [
        "@bazel_tools//tools/bash/runfiles",
        "@cgrindel_bazel_shlib//lib:paths",
    ],
)

Source The Library And Use It

In your shell script, add the following to source the library.

# --- begin runfiles.bash initialization v2 ---
# Copy-pasted from the Bazel Bash runfiles library v2.
set -uo pipefail; f=bazel_tools/tools/bash/runfiles/runfiles.bash
source "${RUNFILES_DIR:-/dev/null}/$f" 2>/dev/null || \
  source "$(grep -sm1 "^$f " "${RUNFILES_MANIFEST_FILE:-/dev/null}" | cut -f2- -d' ')" 2>/dev/null || \
  source ".runfiles/$f" 2>/dev/null || \
  source "$(grep -sm1 "^$f " ".runfiles_manifest" | cut -f2- -d' ')" 2>/dev/null || \
  source "$(grep -sm1 "^$f " ".exe.runfiles_manifest" | cut -f2- -d' ')" 2>/dev/null || \
  { echo>&2 "ERROR: cannot find $f"; exit 1; }; f=; set -e
# --- end runfiles.bash initialization v2 ---

# Load the library file
paths_lib="$(rlocation cgrindel_bazel_shlib/lib/paths.sh)"
source "${paths_lib}"

# ...

# Use the library functions
foo_path="$(normalize_path "${foo_path}")"

If you want to avoid sourcing a library that has already been loaded, the following code will check if the library is already loaded.

# Load the library file, it it is not already loaded.
if [[ $(type -t cgrindel_bazel_shlib_lib_paths_loaded) != function ]]; then
  paths_lib="$(rlocation cgrindel_bazel_shlib/lib/paths.sh)"
  source "${paths_lib}"
