groovy_library()

This is liable to change in the future.

A groovy_library() rule is used to define a set of Groovy files that can be compiled together. It can also be used to cross compile a set of Groovy and Java files. The main output of a groovy_library() rule is a single JAR file containing all of the compiled class files and resources.

Arguments

• name (required) #

  The short name for this build target.

• srcs (defaults to []) #

  The set of files to compile for this rule. Usually these will all end in .groovy, but if any of the files end in.java, cross compilation using the jdk found in JAVA_HOME will occur.

• resources (defaults to []) #

  This is the same as in java_library.

• deps (defaults to []) #

  Rules (usually other groovy_library or java_library rules) that are used to generate the classpath required to compile this groovy_library. This is the same as in java_library.

• exported_deps (defaults to []) #

  Other groovy_library and java_library rules that depend on this rule will also include its exported_deps in their classpaths. This is the same as in java_library.

• provided_deps (defaults to []) #

  This is the same as in java_library.

• extra_groovyc_arguments (defaults to []) #

  List of additional arguments to pass into the Groovy compiler.

• source (defaults to <global value>) #

  Only used during cross compilation. This is the same as in java_library.

• target (defaults to <global value>) #

  Only used during cross compilation. This is the same as in java_library.

• java_version (defaults to <global value>) #

  Only used during cross compilation. This is the same as in java_library.

• extra_arguments (defaults to []) #

  Only used during cross compilation. This is the same as in java_library.

• visibility (defaults to []) #

  List of build target patterns that identify the build rules that can include this rule as a dependency, for example, by listing it in their deps or exported_deps attributes. For more information, see visibility.

• licenses (defaults to []) #

  Set of license files for this library. To get the list of license files for a given build rule and all of its dependencies, you can use buck query.

• labels (defaults to []) #

  Set of arbitrary strings which allow you to annotate a build rule with tags that can be searched for over an entire dependency tree using buck query attrfilter().

Examples

# A rule that compiles a single .groovy file.
groovy_library(
  name = 'example',
  srcs = ['MySourceFile.groovy'],
)

# A rule that compiles all of the .groovy files under the directory in
# which the rule is defined using glob()
groovy_library(
  name = 'groovy-only',
  srcs = glob(['**/*.groovy']),
)

# A rule that cross compiles all of the .groovy and .java files under
# the directory in which the rule is defined, failing if compiling the
# java files generates any compiler warnings
groovy_library(
  name = 'cross-compilation',
  srcs = glob(['**/*.groovy', '**/*.java']),
  java_version = 8,
  extra_arguments = [
    '-Werror',
  ],
)
