bazel query question: Is there a way to print out all tags defined for a test?

[Deron Johnson]

I need to figure out how to determine the tags of a test from the command line.

[Jeff Smelser]

I use: bazel  query 'tests(//...)'

buildozer can print the tags listed directly in the BUILD file, but doesn't expand macros: `buildozer 'print tags' //some/target`

If you're okay parsing XML, `bazel query --output=xml //some/target` will list the tags after macro expansion.

--output=proto and --output=streamed_proto are also options, if that's easier.

Finally, my personal favorite hack: use Python's eval to parse the output of `bazel query --output=build`

```

bazel query --output=build 'kind(sh_test, //some/targets/...)' | python -c '

import sys
def sh_test(tags, **kwargs):
  print(tags)

eval(sys.stdin.read())

'

```
