Absolute patterns in globs

[DC]

Hi,

I would like to define a glob within a target's visibility:

foo(

name = "foo",

package_name = "foo",

srcs = glob(["**"]),

visibility = glob(["//**/bar"]),

)

This results in an error: "Error in glob: pattern cannot be absolute".

How can I achieve this intended result if absolute patterns are not supported?

Thanks

Does visibility = [“//dst:__subpackages__”] not suffice? Is that or public visibility too broad?

Bazel tends to not like globs. Instead you can define a package group with a specific list of approved users. Those users can request to be added on a case by case basis, which works great in my experience.

Thanks, public visibility is too broad, I would like it to be available to "//**/bar" paths so I can restrict PR reviews to these paths via codeowners.

I prefer not to add a hardcoded list of users as it's inconvenient for the users and not scalable.
