Bazel Build EAR

What is this?

bbear creates a compile_commands.json file in the workspace root of a Bazel project to use with clangd.

At the core, it's an alternative frontend for bazel-compilation-database written in Go that fixes a few issues that bothered me but were painful to deal with in Bash. Please see that repository for more information.

Installation

Install bbear like any other go binary:

go install bbear.go

or

go install github.com/phoebe-bell/bbear@latest

Usage

For most use-cases, it should be as simple as running bbear in your project's workspace root.

cd your_project
bbear

Alternatively, you can pass in a custom query command to select for targets:

bbear -query //foo/bar:all

As usual, see bbear -help for the complete list of options.

Tested platforms

bbear has only been tested on Linux. It may take some extra work for it to work on other platforms.
