Motivation
The Rust Bazel rules (rules_rust) is looking to add some tools for building targets with Tonic. In development of bazelbuild/rules_rust#479 it was found that
tonic-build
callsrustfmt
and expects this to be in the user's PATH. This is generally not going to be the case when Building in Bazel. We're looking for a way to specify this binary without needing to rely on or modify PATH.Solution
Cargo already has a pattern for specifying environment variables to control what binaries are used during builds. The change here adopts the same functionality as Cargo and allows for an environment variable (
RUSTFMT
) to optionally specify the location of therustfmt
binary.
