Syntax Highlighting BUILD Files

[Samuel Littley]

Hi All,

Does anybody have a Textmate compatible syntax definition for BUILD files (i.e. a .tmLanguage file)? I'd love to have syntax highlighting in Sublime Text! Is there one floating around internally at Google that could reasonably be released to the outside world?

Best,

Samuel Littley

BUILD is basically a subset of Python. Can you force the editor to try
Python mode?

[Samuel Littley]

That's a very good start, yes. I am slightly ashamed of not having though of that before!

It would however be nice to have keyword highlighting for the various Bazel rules, so I'd still be interested to know if such a thing exists? Otherwise I foresee myself creating one in the next few days...

[Ulf Adams]

I'm not aware of one.

This doesn't help with Textmate exactly, but Vim users there exists a simple syntax plugin for Pants, which uses a BUILD dialect sufficiently similar to Bazel that it could fairly trivially be adapted.  https://github.com/pantsbuild/vim-pants

Speaking of Vim syntax highlighting, here's a simple Bazel syntax plugin for Vim I quickly put together based on the Pants one: https://github.com/davidzchen/vim-bazel

I'd be glad to either send a pull request to add it to the Bazel repo or move it to github.com/google or another GitHub organization.

There is also a Pants IntelliJ plugin (Pants Support) that supports highlighting and navigating through BUILD files, but it probably wouldn't get along well with Bazel right now.  Open source repo: https://github.com/pantsbuild/intellij-pants-plugin/

Will start to work on something like that soonish. Would like to have something similar to Anaconda - but for Skylark.

Hi,

I am not aware of Sublime support, but I am an Atom user and have been using https://atom.io/packages/language-bazel 

let me loop +Laurent Le Brun who might have more guidance.

I also know we have a Summer of code project starting: https://bazel.build/blog/2017/05/31/google-summer-of-code-2017.html that will enable editor services for BUILD and .bzl files.

Steren, do we have a page to list all editor/IDE integration? I think
it would be useful to have.

For the Summer of code project, it will help for more advanced
features (completion, jump to symbol definition, etc.). However,
syntax highlighting probably needs to be done separately.

A page listing all IDE integrations is something I have drafted. +Michelle Irvine should be publishing it soon in our docs.

[abergmeier...@gmail.com]

Interesting. Steren, can we perhaps form another group with monthly calls around IDE integrations?

I would have chosen Go for the language server, but if you guys decide to go with Java, I may rather choose Kotlin for synergy.
