bazel-action's Issues

Use Bazel

It would be nice to use Bazel + the action to build and publish images.

Use of Local Cache

Is it possible to persis the local cache between CI workflow executions of this action?

There is a Cache action available. Not sure if that can work or something else is needed. An example would be nice if that can be used.

bazelisk support

A lot of repositories are using bazelisk(an official bazelbuild project) to trivially change between bazel versions. It is instrumented off of a .bazelversion file in the workspace root. It'd be useful to have an action that keys off of this existing tool.

This would allow something like the following to support literally any previous/upcoming release of bazel, along with all of the amazing features provided by bazelisk:

uses: ngalaiko/bazel-action/bazelisk_1.1.0@master

I can make a PR that implements it very trivially, but figured I'd ask your thoughts on supporting this here. If this goes beyond the scope of this project, I can make a spin-off action called bazelisk-action as well.

Thanks!

Clang support?

g++ does weird things with my tests. I generally run on clang.

• We could bake various compilers into the docker container.
• Or we could modify entry.sh to pull a requested compiler.

Setting the CC_COMPILE env variable is sufficient for Bazel.
