bazelbuild/rules_go 0.17.0

on GitHub

Changes

• Repository rules and macros have moved to @io_bazel_rules_go//go:deps.bzl from def.bzl. This will allow Go rules to load symbols from external repositories. In particular, it will let us build a compatibility layer for supporting Bazel versions across incompatible API changes.
  • This change won't be backported to the 0.16 branch, so it's likely that Bazel 0.23 won't work with 0.16 unless Bazel compatibility flags are enabled.
• go_proto_library has several new features.
  • Code may be generated from multiple proto_library targets, via the new protos attribute. Thanks to @vam-google.
  • proto_library targets with no srcs, only deps will work.
  • proto_library targets with adjusted import prefixes will work.
• go_proto_compiler will no longer pass the -import_path option by default. This should make generated package names consistent with protoc when option go_package is not set. Thanks to @blico.
• nogo now supports fact serialization. This allows analyzers like printf to store information for use in dependent packages.
• nogo no longer invokes a separate vet binary when vet = True. Instead, setting this attribute adds the safe set of vet analyzers to deps.
• Improved runfiles support for windows, via github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go/go/tools/bazel. Thanks to @jchv.
