"Provided" scope in bazel

[ittai zeidman]

Hi,
How do I simulate the maven "provided" scope in Bazel? Provided means I can compile with it but it doesn't get packaged in the end deployable (and it's not transitive)

Thanks!

If this for the java rules, you can accomplish this by creating a neverlink version of the dependency and depending on that:

never link is added to nodes in the dependency graph. In some cases you want
this attribute to be added to the edges and not to the nodes. That why there is
a feature request to add provided_deps attribute to the java_library rule: [1].
