Formatter for BUILD files

[Dino Wernli]

Hi bazel-dev

I was wondering, are there any plans to release a formatter for BUILD files? For instance, something which would sort/dedupe labels in lists and maybe fix indentation seems like it would be pretty useful.

In general, I could see varying degrees of sophistication of tools for BUILD file manipulation being useful (e.g., something that would automatically remove unused dependencies in rules).

I couldn't really find anything of the sort on the roadmap though, does anybody have more details?

Cheers

Dino

We have a formatter that we have been using internally that we are planning to open-source, but it was contingent on Go support. Now that we have released an initial version of the Go rules, is there an update on when we can open-source the formatting tool?

Friendliest of pings :) Is there any notion of where this might fit on a roadmap?

We're planning to make it a starter project for someone who will be joining the team in the next couple of months.

Is there an ETA on buildifier? It would help format our project https://nomulus.foo

[David Chen]

Buildifier has already been open-sourced and is available here: https://github.com/bazelbuild/buildifier

I somehow managed to find this thread before that link.  Go figure.  Anyway, thanks!  If someone else manages to find this thread first too now they'll have the right link.
