2 months ago Is this really a bug? This results in the same error, which I would consider expected (although maybe something we could/should change):
$ echo "query:abc --config=xyz" >> .bazelrc
$ echo "build:xyz --define=a=1" >> .bazelrc
$ bazel query --config=abc
ERROR: Config value 'xyz' is not defined in any .rc file

2 months ago I was surprised by the behavior, though I think it's up to interpretation whether it's a bug. Also, the repro is actually simpler.
$ echo "common --config=xyz" >> .bazelrc
$ echo "build:xyz --define=a=1" >> .bazelrc
$ bazel query
ERROR: Config value 'xyz' is not defined in any .rc fileNo pressure to change anything. I mostly just wanted to write up this issue so I could link to it for context.
Description of the bug:
Not sure if this case was ever thought through or whether it is worth fixing, but I ran into it today in my own work. @fmeum please comment on whether you think it's worth improving this scenario. I can work around it (by replacing
common:abcwithbuild:abc), so it's not too much of a priority, just wanted to make sure it was tracked in an issue.Which category does this issue belong to?
