feat: support --remote_download_outputs=minimal #6456

Open rbtcollins opened 1 month ago

rbtcollins commented 1 month ago

Description of the feature request:

We use --remote_download_outputs=minimal with remote build to avoid downloading large blobs unnecessarily. However intellij users found that project syncing left unresolved symbols until we disabled that, leaving --remote_download_outputs set to the default.

I'm not familiar enough with the bazel internals here to suggest resolution, but supporting configurations with this flag would be great.

Which category does this issue belong to?

Intellij

What underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?

Allow developers using IntelliJ to do so without needing a custom bazelrc for them.

What operating system, Intellij IDE and programming languages are you using? Please provide specific versions.

Ubuntu 24.04, IntelliJ IDEA 2024.1.2, Kotlin

I think you could try with toplevel (and maybe tweaking targets in the project view file). But the way it would be pretty cool if bazel had another setting - direct_deps that would download toplevel targets and their direct deps

Yah - toplevel works. We have a wrapper program around bazel, and we're using that to detect intellij and inject ...=toplevel instead of our minimal default; this seems to be working nicely.
