2 weeks ago When using hardlinks on macOS (which the sandboxfs implementation did at one point), you can run into issues of Gatekeeper randomly killing your process: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/663456 and https://jmmv.dev/2020/01/osxfuse-hardlinks-dladdr.html
Description of the feature request:
The hardlink sandbox, toggled via
experimental_use_hermetic_linux_sandbox, is a step forward in ensuring the hemeticity of build actions and tests as tools are no longer able to "accidentally" follow symlinks out of the sandbox to pick up files outside of the source set specified. This also means tools don't have to be hacked, patched, or reconfigured in error-prone and unsound ways to respect Bazel's sandbox.It would be great to extend this feature beyond Linux to MacOS. In our case, all our developers use Macs whereas our CI uses Linux. It is unfortunate that, due to the lack of hardlink sandbox on the former, the development environment behaves differently - in both subtle and significant ways - to the CI.
