Feature/examples repo #43

mvukov · 2024-08-08T06:06:30Z

The PR converts examples to a separate repo -- the idea is to illustrate how one would include rules_ros into their own projects.

Some notes:

rules_python needs to be defined in both repos and rules_python must be a regular dep in rules_ros repo as well.
.bazelrc needs to have a config setting that we use Python 3.10. BTW, users won't have option any more to use Python other than 3.10 (at least I couldn't figure this out).
Users don't have option any more to extend requirements.txt from rules_ros and extend this such that they can use their own packages as well in their repos under rules_ros_pip_deps. This was possible with workspace-workflow but not any more with bzlmod; I figured this out while working on the PR. It would be nice if we could supply an external requirements lock file to rules_ros.

If you add the default = True attribute to the python toolchain in the MODULE file, then you don't need this, right?

Didn't change the toolchain in rules_ros. The flag isn't needed in rules_ros but it's needed in the examples repo.

Why is this required in the examples repo?

Otherwise Bazel can't figure out that pip deps are indeed for Python 3.10 toolchain. E.g. I get:

ERROR: /home/user/.cache/bazel/_bazel_user/6e0e647a7496b7382203f7000f7beb27/external/rules_python~~pip~rules_ros_pip_deps/empy/BUILD.bazel:27:6: configurable attribute "actual" in @@rules_python~~pip~rules_ros_pip_deps//empy:pkg doesn't match this configuration: No matching wheel for current configuration's Python version. The current build configuration's Python version doesn't match any of the Python wheels available for this wheel. This wheel supports the following Python configuration settings: //_config:is_python_3.10 To determine the current configuration's Python version, run: `bazel config <config id>` (shown further below) and look for rules_python//python/config_settings:python_version If the value is missing, then the "default" Python version is being used, which has a "null" version value and will not match version constraints. This instance of @@rules_python~~pip~rules_ros_pip_deps//empy:pkg has configuration identifier aaa66e7. To inspect its configuration, run: bazel config aaa66e7. For more help, see https://bazel.build/docs/configurable-attributes#faq-select-choose-condition. ERROR: Analysis of target '//chatter:talker_tests' failed; build aborted: Analysis failed

If this is required for the examples repo only, would it make sense to have a .bazelrc for the examples repo only to avoid this for the main repo?

I don't want to maintain two .bazelrc files, that's why I synmlink-ed the rules_ros2 repo one to the examples repo. The flag doesn't harm the main repo.

Are these aliases to ensure they are built as I don't see what in the examples depends on them. If so, could be worth adding a comment as to why they're here.

It's more for convenience, referenced some of them in the readme for the chatter examples.

Added docs.

I don't like to approach in particular, but until py_binary starts to have a single file in DefaultInfo, I am afraid we'll need this.

In particular: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python/blob/main/python/private/common/py_executable.bzl#L767: DefaultInfo.files should be just the executable, the rest should go to runfiles. For backwards compatibility reasons, this functionality needs to go under a new incompatible flag.

Regarding your third bullet point in the PR description about overriding/extending the requirements, @finn-ball already created this PR for rules_python. We are still discussing why this is required, so maybe we can use this as an example. Feel free to join the discussion there.

If you now specify your own python toolchain, wouldn't it be possible to use a different python version?

It won't let me reply to the above .bazelrc question but basically because no toolchain is specified as default in the example MODULE.bazel file, you have to specify it as a config flag in the .bazelrc

Would it help if we specify a toolchain here?

If I add the following to examples/MODULE.bazel:

python = use_extension("@rules_python//python/extensions:python.bzl", "python") python.toolchain( is_default = True, python_version = "3.10", )

and remove the config flag from .bazelrc: that works for the examples repo but I get:

DEBUG: /home/user/.cache/bazel/_bazel_user/6e0e647a7496b7382203f7000f7beb27/external/rules_python~/python/private/python.bzl:46:10: WARNING: Ignoring toolchain 'python_3_10' from module 'rules_ros': Toolchain 'python_3_10' from module 'rules_ros_examples' already registered Python version 3.10 and has precedence

IMO, the flag in .bazelrc is a cleaner solution.

But isn't this what we want? Being able to override the Python toolchain used?

Didn't have time to investigate how this would work. If you have some time, give it a shot. But, yes, it would be nice if toolchain override could work.

Ok fine with me. Let's try that and once it is merged I will try to update in our codebase and report back if there are any errors.
