disabling or modifying sandbox for skylark rules

[ms...@dropbox.com]

Replacing /usr/bin/python with a custom version is not an option most systems, thus /usr/local/bin/python is a necessity for supporting custom python interpreters.

What is the escape hatch to make this work again?

I filed a bug as in looking through the mailing list and bug tracker I didn't find the solution.

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

Good to see you again, :)
Have you tried "bazel build --spawn_strategy=standalone
--genrule_strategy=standalone"
I think the two options should disable sandbox completely for the build process.

You can put them into tools/bazel.rc
build --spawn_strategy=standalone --genrule_strategy=standalone

Thanks for the tip, that indeed works around the problem nicely. Good
to "see" you too.

Consider also making a new_local_repository for /usr/local/bin and adding a fileset with python in it.  That will let you depend on python, and bazel will then add python back into your sandbox.
