Bazel: A Bazel mode for EMACS would be great to have!

[byuksel]

This would enable proper highlighting and indentation in Emacs for the BUILD files.

I am using py mode and it is working.

Assigning myself to track, but byuksel is planning to implement this.

[damienmg]

status of that bug?

[kchodorow]

@byuksel any update?

[byuksel]

Hey all, I have a in-the-works CL. I can get this done by next week, and
send it for review.

@byuksel Can you contribute what you have? Others can help out once it's checked in!

I've been using a modified "gn-mode" (from the Chromium project) where I added py_library", "py_binary", and "sh_binary" to its list of keywords. It seems to work well enough considering that gn's build format is copied from Google's BUILD format.

See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/tools/gn/misc/emacs/gn-mode.el. The various keyword definitions begin on 56.

Is there an update on this @byuksel?

[abergmeier]

Since bzl and BUILD content are can be seen as a subset of Python 3, I am wondering whether it would make more sense to start with a pyish mode and have some way of limiting that.

Any updates?

Here is a bare-bones bazel-mode: https://github.com/codesuki/bazel-mode

[brown]

I have created a Bazel mode for GNU Emacs that improves a bit on the bare-bones one:
https://github.com/brown/bazel-mode

[phst]

It would be great if either of the modes mentioned in https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/157#issuecomment-368933624 or https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/157#issuecomment-388503936 could be moved into this repository to become the "official" bazel-mode. Having multiple libraries with the same name is prone to clashes if some package starts indirectly depending on both.

[laurentlb]

I've created an official repo for this: https://github.com/bazelbuild/emacs-bazel-mode

Please contribute to it!
