Remove the BuildBuddy cache, build event upload, downloader, and remote execution presets from `.bazelrc`, while retaining the shared remote execution policy for callers that supply their own executor. Update the Bazel documentation and Windows V8 cross-build instructions to remove references to the deleted presets. Ordinary local `bazel` and `just` invocations continue to run locally.

# Bazel in codex-rs
|
|
|
|
This repository uses Bazel to build the Rust workspace under `codex-rs`.
|
|
Cargo remains the source of truth for crates and features, while Bazel
|
|
provides hermetic builds, toolchains, and cross-platform artifacts.
|
|
|
|
As of 6/1/2026, this setup is still experimental as we stabilize it.
|
|
|
|
## High-level layout
|
|
|
|
- `../MODULE.bazel` defines Bazel dependencies and Rust toolchains.
|
|
- `rules_rs` imports third-party crates from `codex-rs/Cargo.toml` and
|
|
`codex-rs/Cargo.lock` via `crate.from_cargo(...)` and exposes them under
|
|
`@crates`.
|
|
- `../defs.bzl` provides `codex_rust_crate`, which wraps `rust_library`,
|
|
`rust_binary`, and `rust_test` so Bazel targets line up with Cargo conventions.
|
|
It provides a sane set of defaults that work for most first-party crates, but may
|
|
need tweaks in some cases.
|
|
- Each crate in `codex-rs/*/BUILD.bazel` typically uses `codex_rust_crate` and
|
|
makes some adjustments if the crate needs additional compile-time or runtime data,
|
|
or other customizations.
|
|
|
|
## Running Bazel locally
|
|
|
|
The repository root `justfile` exposes the common Bazel entry points:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
just bazel-test
|
|
just bazel-clippy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ordinary local `bazel` and `just` invocations run locally. The checked-in
|
|
Bazel configuration does not define third-party remote cache or execution
|
|
endpoints.
|
|
|
|
## Evolving the setup
|
|
|
|
When you add or change Rust dependencies, update the Cargo.toml/Cargo.lock as normal.
|
|
Then refresh the Bzlmod lockfile from the repo root:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
just bazel-lock-update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This runs `bazel mod deps --lockfile_mode=update` and updates `MODULE.bazel.lock` if needed.
|
|
Commit the lockfile changes along with your Cargo lockfile update.
|
|
|
|
To verify lockfile alignment locally (the same check CI runs), use:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
just bazel-lock-check
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In some cases, an upstream crate may need a patch or a `crate.annotation` in `../MODULE.bzl`
|
|
to have it build in Bazel's sandbox or make it cross-compilation-friendly. If you see issues,
|
|
feel free to ping zbarsky or mbolin.
|
|
|
|
When you add a new crate or binary:
|
|
|
|
1. Add it to the Cargo workspace as usual.
|
|
2. Create a `BUILD.bazel` that calls `codex_rust_crate` (see nearby crates for
|
|
examples).
|
|
3. If a dependency needs special handling (compile/runtime data, additional binaries
|
|
for integration tests, env vars, etc) you may need to adjust the parameters to
|
|
`codex_rust_crate` to configure it.
|
|
One common customization is setting `test_tags = ["no-sandbox]` to run the test
|
|
unsandboxed. Prefer to avoid it, but it is necessary in some cases such as when the
|
|
test itself uses Seatbelt (the sandbox does as well, and it cannot be nested).
|
|
To limit the blast radius, consider isolating such tests to a separate crate.
|
|
|
|
If you see build issue and are not sure how to apply the proper customizations, feel free to ping zbarsky or mbolin.
