Grazel stands for Gradle to Bazel. A Gradle plugin to migrate Android projects
to Bazel build system in an incremental and automated fashion.
- Gradle plugin
- A Kotlin Starlark DSL to generate Starlark code in a type-safe way.
- Grab Bazel Common - Custom rules to bridge the gap between Gradle/Bazel.
- Generate
BUILD.bazel,WORKSPACEfor given Android project and reduce the overall migration effort. - Setup hybrid build to build part of project graph to build with Bazel and rest with Gradle.
- Minimal source changes to codebase - supported by Grab Bazel Common.
- Gradle Configuration as source of truth.
For documentation and usage instructions, please visit website.
It works by automatically generating Bazel scripts for given Android project based on your Gradle
configuration. For simple projects, it should be able to migrate, fully build and launch the app
with bazel mobile-install //<target-name>.
For example, for the following Gradle configuration:
apply plugin: "com.android.library"
apply plugin: "kotlin-android"
android {
compileSdkVersion rootProject.compileSdk
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion rootProject.minSdk
targetSdkVersion rootProject.targetSdk
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
}
dependencies {
implementation project(":app")
implementation project(":base")
implementation "androidx.test.espresso:espresso-idling-resource:3.2.0"
}Grazel's migrateToBazel task generates the following build script:
load("@io_bazel_rules_kotlin//kotlin:kotlin.bzl", "kt_android_library")
kt_android_library(
name = "quiz",
srcs = glob([
"src/main/java/**/*.kt",
]),
custom_package = "com.google.samples.apps.topeka.quiz",
manifest = "src/main/AndroidManifest.xml",
resource_files = glob([
"src/main/res/**",
]),
visibility = [
"//visibility:public",
],
deps = [
"//app",
"//base",
"@maven//:androidx_test_espresso_espresso_idling_resource",
],
)See migration capabilities for supported features. In advanced cases, where entire project might not be migratable, it migrates part of the graph and sets up hybrid build where part of the graph can be built with Bazel and rest with Gradle.
