ERROR：target 'all' not declared in package

[Yogur]

I can bazel build //v/test:all  or  bazel build //v/test:*   to compile  all the targets in the v/test/BUILD as the http://bazel.io/ writes，

however，I got the error as follows：

ERROR: no such target '//v/test:all': target 'all' not declared in package 'v/test' defined by v/test/BUILD and referenced by '//:lpp'.

ERROR: Loading failed; build aborted.

genrule(

    name = "lpp",

    outs = ["######"],

    srcs=["//v/test:all"],

    cmd = "######",

)

any reply would be appreciated~~~

Hello,

all is a wildcard and you cannot use it except in the command line. In the genrule you have to explictely list all the dependency your rules depends on.

alright...

I use a loop to compile many .c files to simplify the code...

now I have to explictely list all the dependency...

:(

thx for your reply

You could use list comprehension like:

genrule(

   name = "lpp-"

   ...

   srcs = ["//v/test:input-rule-" + file.replace(".", "_") for file in glob(["**/*.c"])]

)

(untested example)

That would avoid you from writing a lot of boilerplate.
