Línea de trabajo

Comienza con el ejemplo mínimo de MODULE.bazel y BUILD.bazel; después, ejecuta los comandos bazel run, cquery y aquery indicados con BAZEL_DO_NOT_DETECT_CPP_TOOLCHAIN establecido en 1. Compara las toolchains y acciones resueltas para determinar si un py_binary puro puede evitar la resolución de la toolchain de C++; se considera terminado cuando el comportamiento se haya corregido o se haya documentado su requisito intencionado.

Descripción

🐞 bug report

Affected Rule

py_binary

Is this a regression?

Not tested, unlikely.

Description

A trivial pure-Python py_binary appears to require C++ toolchain resolution even though it does not produce any C++ compile or link actions.

In a minimal example, bazel cquery //:hello_world --toolchain_resolution_debug='.*' shows that Bazel resolves both:

  • @@bazel_tools//tools/python:toolchain_type
  • @@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain_type

However, bazel aquery //:hello_world only shows Python-related actions such as Python bytecode precompilation and bootstrap/template generation. There are no C++ compile or link actions for the target.

This is surprising for Python-only projects. In environments where no C++ toolchain is configured or available, this can cause a trivial py_binary to fail analysis even though the target itself does not build native code.

From a user perspective, I would expect a pure py_binary with no native extensions and no C/C++ deps to avoid requiring successful C++ toolchain resolution, or at least for the requirement to be documented if it is intentional.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

MODULE.bazel

module(
    name = "bazel_hello_py",
    version = "0.1.0",
)

bazel_dep(name = "rules_shell", version = "0.6.1")
bazel_dep(name = "rules_python", version = "1.7.0")

BUILD.bazel

load("@rules_python//python:defs.bzl", "py_binary")

py_binary(
    name = "hello_world",
    srcs = ["hello_world.py"],
)

hello_world.py

print("hello world")

bazel run //:hello_world --repo_env=BAZEL_DO_NOT_DETECT_CPP_TOOLCHAIN=<0|1>
bazel cquery //:hello_world --toolchain_resolution_debug='.*'
bazel aquery //:hello_world

Observed behavior:

  1. bazel run //:hello_world succeeds if the repo_env is set to 0 but fails on 1
  2. cquery shows that @@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain_type is resolved for the target.
  3. aquery shows only Python-related actions and no C++ compile/link actions.

This suggests the C++ toolchain resolution is happening even for a pure-Python binary with no actual C++ build work.

Anything else relevant?

Related issues I found while searching:
rules_python #1857 discusses py_binary and C++ toolchain resolution in cross-compilation scenarios.
rules_python #2500 discusses replacing the stage1 bootstrap with a native launcher.

My main question is whether this C++ toolchain resolution for a pure py_binary is intentional.
