Any way to make Bazel print the invocation ID in the form of a link on startup?

[Ed Schouten]

Hi there,

I'm currently working on adding decent support for the Build Event
Protocol to Buildbarn. I've written a gRPC service that saves up build
events and stores them, so that Buildbarn's web UI (bb-browser) can
display them in a nice way.

Now I've noticed that during startup, Bazel prints this:

$ bazel build --config=local-debian8 //...
INFO: Invocation ID: f8b75639-9a3a-49ad-80d7-499f86980a3b
INFO: Streaming Build Event Protocol to localhost:8983
build_request_id: fbc49aaa-cb40-443a-b338-04831a77c5b9 invocation_id:
f8b75639-9a3a-49ad-80d7-499f86980a3b
...

My question is, would it somehow be possible to let Bazel print a
message in the form of a server-provided link? It looks like
PublishLifecycleEvent and PublishBuildToolEventStream[1] have no
proper way of returning that kind of information.

Thanks!

Look at --bes_results_url.  I think it does what you want!

Hey Austin,

Oh, that's awesome. Just tried it and it works perfectly. I guess I
overlooked it, because I only considered the command line flags listed
on this page:

https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/build-event-protocol.html#build-event-service-flags

I think --bes_results_url is important enough for most setups that we
should document it there as well. I'll see if I can get that added.

Thanks,
