Bazel
Bazel is a fast, scalable, multi-language, and extensible build system.
Skaffold can help build artifacts using Bazel locally; after Bazel finishes building container images, they will be loaded into the local Docker daemon.
Configuration
To use Bazel, bazel field to each artifact you specify in the
artifacts part of the build section, and use the build type local.
context should be a path containing the bazel files
(WORKSPACE and BUILD). The following options can optionally be configured:
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
target |
Required bazel build target to run. |
|
args |
additional args to pass to bazel build. |
[] |
Not any Bazel target can be used
The target specified must produce a bundle compatible with docker load. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_docker#using-with-docker-locallyExample
The following build section instructs Skaffold to build a
Docker image gcr.io/k8s-skaffold/example with Bazel:
build:
artifacts:
- image: gcr.io/k8s-skaffold/example
bazel:
target: //:example.tar
