Artifactories integration with Bazel

I am currently trying to build a project with source in a git repository and some dependencies in an artifactory. I need to first download all the sources and binaries from the repo and artifactory to my local workspace.

I could not find any information regarding artifactory integration with bazel. I can see that this feature has been requested https://www.jfrog.com/jira/browse/RTFACT-15428?jql=labels%20%3D%20bazel. Is anyone aware of any build tools that can first download resources and then build them? I need both git and artifactory support.

Remote build cache

Bazel supports any HTTP 1.1 server with PUT and GET methods as http cache. Simple HTTP Auth is also supported. This means using Artifactory as a remote build cache is straightforward.

  1. Create a new Generic repository in Artifactory.

Now run bazel as

bazel test \
   --remote_http_cache=https://user:password@[...].com:8081/artifactory/bazel/ \
   test //...

See https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/remote-caching.html for the relevant Bazel doc.

You can also attempt to write the artifactory rules in Skylark: https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/repository_rules.html

According to the Bazel documentation for Java, you can define external dependencies resolved to Maven with rule maven_jar.

As Artifactory supports Maven, you can set up your dependencies in a Maven repository, and retrieve artifacts from there with your Bazel build script.

On the other side of the build, publication seems to be a work-in-progress and on the roadmap for Bazel builds.
