Bazel in Disconnected Environment

[Eric Stoces]

I am trying to use Bazel in a disconnected environment. I cloned the bazel-central-repository and am hosting it in a remote in that environment. How do I use it using the new dependency model (MODULE.bazel)?

I am using use_extension(), git_repository(), but it still tried to get it from https://bcr.bazle.build. ChatGPT told me to use local_repository() to tell Bazel where the repo is. Is this correct? How do I specify a path that is user dependent? Is this the correct way to use a cloned BCR repo?

Below is my MODULE.bazel file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # MODULE.bazel
module(name = "hello-world")
# Declare the dependency bazel_dep(name = "rules_cc", version = "0.0.10") # Use the extension to define the repository git_repo_extension = use_extension("@rules_cc//:defs.bzl", "git_repository") # Define the git repository using the extension git_repo_extension.git_repository( name = "hosted_bcr", remote = "http://my_gitlab/PF/bazel-central-registry.git", branch = "feature/pf-43042", # commit = "<commit_sha>" # specify commit SHA if needed )
#Define the local repository local_repository( name = "rules_cc", path = "/???where_is_this???/rules_cc", )

Hello Eric, have you tried using the `--registry=` option when invoking Bazel. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76877026/use-bzlmod-with-registry-on-local-file-system
