Copies files and directories to an output directory.

Files and directories can be arranged as needed in the output directory using the root_paths, include_srcs_patters, exclude_srcs_patters and replace_prefixes attributes.

Rules

copy_to_directory

Example usage (generated)

load("@aspect_bazel_lib//lib:copy_to_directory.bzl", "copy_to_directory")

copy_to_directory(
    # A unique name for this target.
    name = "",
)

name

A unique name for this target.

allow_overwrites

If True, allow files to be overwritten if the same output file is copied to twice.

If set, then the order of srcs matters as the last copy of a particular file will win.

This setting has no effect on Windows where overwrites are always allowed.

exclude_prefixes

List of path prefixes (with glob support) to exclude from output directory.

    DEPRECATED: use `exclude_srcs_patterns` instead

    Glob patterns `**`, `*` and `?` are supported. See `glob_match` documentation for
    more details on how to use glob patterns:
    https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-lib/blob/main/docs/glob_match.md.

    Files and directories in srcs are not copied to the output directory if their output
    directory path, after applying `root_paths`, starts with or fully matches one of the
    patterns specified.

    Patterns do not look into files within source directory or generated directory (TreeArtifact)
    targets since matches are performed in Starlark. To use `include_srcs_patterns` on files
    within directories you can use the `make_directory_paths` helper to specify individual files inside
    directories in `srcs`. This restriction may be fixed in a future release by performing matching
    inside the copy action instead of in Starlark.

    Forward slashes (`/`) should be used as path separators.

    Files and directories that do not have matching output directory paths are subject to subsequent
    filters and transformations to determine if they are copied and what their path in the output
    directory will be.

    Filters and transformations are applied in the following order:
  1. include_external_repositories

  2. include_srcs_packages

  3. exclude_srcs_packages

  4. root_paths

  5. include_srcs_patterns

  6. exclude_srcs_patterns

  7. replace_prefixes

For more information each filters / transformations applied, see the documentation for the specific filter / transformation attribute.

exclude_srcs_packages

List of Bazel packages (with glob support) to exclude from output directory.

    Glob patterns `**`, `*` and `?` are supported. See `glob_match` documentation for
    more details on how to use glob patterns:
    https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-lib/blob/main/docs/glob_match.md.

    Files and directories in srcs are not copied to the output directory if
    the Bazel package of the file or directory matches one of the patterns specified.

    Forward slashes (`/`) should be used as path separators.

    A "." value expands to the target's package path (`ctx.label.package`).
    A "./**" value expands to the target's package path followed by a slash and a
    globstar (`"{}/**".format(ctx.label.package)`).

    Files and directories that have do not have matching Bazel packages are subject to subsequent
    filters and transformations to determine if they are copied and what their path in the output
    directory will be.

    Filters and transformations are applied in the following order:
  1. include_external_repositories

  2. include_srcs_packages

  3. exclude_srcs_packages

  4. root_paths

  5. include_srcs_patterns

  6. exclude_srcs_patterns

  7. replace_prefixes

For more information each filters / transformations applied, see the documentation for the specific filter / transformation attribute.

exclude_srcs_patterns

List of paths (with glob support) to exclude from output directory.

    Glob patterns `**`, `*` and `?` are supported. See `glob_match` documentation for
    more details on how to use glob patterns:
    https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-lib/blob/main/docs/glob_match.md.

  6. exclude_srcs_patterns

  7. replace_prefixes

include_external_repositories

List of external repository names (with glob support) to include in the output directory.

    Glob patterns `**`, `*` and `?` are supported. See `glob_match` documentation for
    more details on how to use glob patterns:
    https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-lib/blob/main/docs/glob_match.md.

    Files from external repositories are only copied into the output directory if
    the external repository they come from matches one of the external repository patterns
    specified.

    When copied from an external repository, the file path in the output directory
    defaults to the file's path within the external repository. The external repository
    name is _not_ included in that path.

    For example, the following copies `@external_repo//path/to:file` to
    `path/to/file` within the output directory.

    ```
    copy_to_directory(
        name = "dir",
        include_external_repositories = ["external_*"],
        srcs = ["@external_repo//path/to:file"],
    )
    ```

    Files and directories that come from matching external are subject to subsequent filters and
    transformations to determine if they are copied and what their path in the output
    directory will be. The external repository name of the file or directory from an external
    repository is not included in the output directory path and is considered in subsequent
    filters and transformations.

    Filters and transformations are applied in the following order:
  1. include_external_repositories

  2. include_srcs_packages

  3. exclude_srcs_packages

  4. root_paths

  5. include_srcs_patterns

  6. exclude_srcs_patterns

  7. replace_prefixes

include_srcs_packages

List of Bazel packages (with glob support) to include in output directory.

    Glob patterns `**`, `*` and `?` are supported. See `glob_match` documentation for
    more details on how to use glob patterns:
    https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-lib/blob/main/docs/glob_match.md.

    Files and directories in srcs are only copied to the output directory if
    the Bazel package of the file or directory matches one of the patterns specified.

    Forward slashes (`/`) should be used as path separators.

    A "." value expands to the target's package path (`ctx.label.package`).
    A "./**" value expands to the target's package path followed by a slash and a
    globstar (`"{}/**".format(ctx.label.package)`).

    Defaults to ["**"] which includes sources from all packages.

    Files and directories that have matching Bazel packages are subject to subsequent filters and
    transformations to determine if they are copied and what their path in the output
    directory will be.

    Filters and transformations are applied in the following order:
  1. include_external_repositories

  2. include_srcs_packages

  3. exclude_srcs_packages

out

Path of the output directory, relative to this package.

If not set, the name of the target is used.

replace_prefixes

Map of paths prefixes (with glob support) to replace in the output directory path when copying files.

    Glob patterns `**`, `*` and `?` are supported but the pattern must not end with a `**` glob
    expression. See `glob_match` documentation for more details on how to use glob patterns:
    https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-lib/blob/main/docs/glob_match.md.

    If the output directory path for a file or directory starts with or fully matches a
    a key in the dict then the matching portion of the output directory path is
    replaced with the dict value for that key. The final path segment
    matched can be a partial match of that segment and only the matching portion will
    be replaced. If there are multiple keys that match, the longest match wins.

    Patterns do not look into files within source directory or generated directory (TreeArtifact)
    targets since matches are performed in Starlark. To use `replace_prefixes` on files
    within directories you can use the `make_directory_paths` helper to specify individual files inside
    directories in `srcs`. This restriction may be fixed in a future release by performing matching
    inside the copy action instead of in Starlark.

    Forward slashes (`/`) should be used as path separators. 

    Replace prefix transformation are the final step in the list of filters and transformations.
    The final output path of a file or directory being copied into the output directory
    is determined at this step.

    Filters and transformations are applied in the following order:
  1. include_external_repositories

  2. include_srcs_packages

  3. exclude_srcs_packages

  4. root_paths

  5. include_srcs_patterns

  6. exclude_srcs_patterns

  7. replace_prefixes

root_paths

List of paths (with glob support) that are roots in the output directory.

    Glob patterns `**`, `*` and `?` are supported. See `glob_match` documentation for
    more details on how to use glob patterns:
    https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-lib/blob/main/docs/glob_match.md.

    If any parent directory of a file or directory being copied matches one of the root paths
    patterns specified, the output directory path will be the path relative to the root path
    instead of the path relative to the file's or directory's workspace. If there are multiple
    root paths that match, the longest match wins.

    Matching is done on the parent directory of the output file path so a trailing '**' glob patterm
    will match only up to the last path segment of the dirname and will not include the basename.
    Only complete path segments are matched. Partial matches on the last segment of the root path
    are ignored.

    Forward slashes (`/`) should be used as path separators.

    A "." value expands to the target's package path (`ctx.label.package`).

    Defaults to ["."] which results in the output directory path of files in the
    target's package and and sub-packages are relative to the target's package and
    files outside of that retain their full workspace relative paths.

    Filters and transformations are applied in the following order:
  1. include_external_repositories

  2. include_srcs_packages

  3. exclude_srcs_packages

  4. root_paths

  5. include_srcs_patterns

  6. exclude_srcs_patterns

  7. replace_prefixes
