v0.30.0

Changes

• Add first class support for GOOS=ios (#3013)

  Previously, debugging a go_test target was only possible with an explicit --@io_bazel_rules_go//go/config:debug.

• go_test: Add env attribute (#3004)

  This allows setting environment variables before static initialisers run, and which reference expanded locations.

• tests/core/cgo: do not assume test is being run from main repo (#2956)

• reproducibility_test: explicitly build the go_sdk builder (#3026)

• map bazel's --test_runner_fail_fast to go's -failfast (#3058)

Bug Fixes

• Emit correct header in CGo c-archive (#2874)
• Append path into trimpath if option already exists (#2994)
• Fixed issue with go_bazel_test rule on Windows (#3036)
• Skipping linker flag for versioned dylib on Darwin (#2989)
• Trim absolute paths in files generated by cgo (#3011)
• builders/cover: register coverage without changing line numbers (#2993)
• cover: use Z instead of underscore for variable name separator (#2995)
• .bazelci/presubmit.yml: remove old flag (#3023)
• builders/gentestmain: register correct cover mode in the coverage report file when enabling race mode (#3019)
• -fsanitize-ignorelist should have an absolute path (#3001)
• internal changes: #2942, #2987, #2988, #2992, #3000, #3035, #3038, #3046

Thanks to all of the contributors

v0.29.0

Changes

• nogo analyzers may now depend on go_library rules (#2922).

  This is a major upgrade to nogo usability that enables the use of
  the popular staticcheck tool, via
  https://github.com/sluongng/staticcheck-codegen.

  This requires an update to Gazelle v0.24

  Many thanks to @thomas-wk

• Editor / IDE integration (gopackagesdriver) now supports automatic target detection (#2932).

  No user input is required after the GOPACKAGESDRIVER setup.
  This effectively deprecates the following environment variables:

  • GOPACKAGESDRIVER_BAZEL_TARGETS
  • GOPACKAGESDRIVER_BAZEL_QUERY
  • GOPACKAGESDRIVER_BAZEL_TAG_FILTERS

  Many thanks to @steeve for his ongoing development of gopackagesdriver

• The rules_cc dependency has been removed (#2950).

• rules_go tool builds are now reproducible (#2952).

• cgo-related bug fixes: #2930, #2925, #2947, #2926.

Thanks to all of the contributors.

Compatibility

• Bazel 4.2.0 or higher is now required. The previous minimum version

gazelle_dependencies()

v0.28.0

Changes

• Experimental editor / IDE integration added in the form of a
  gopackagesdriver tool that reports information about the Bazel workspace
  to gopls (or any other tool based on golang.org/x/tools/go/packages).
  See the Editor setup
  on the wiki for information and setup instructions. Huge thanks to @steeve
  for shipping this.
• Target platform may be automatically inferred from --crosstool_top and
  --cpu for iOS and Android platforms that still require these flags.
  Again, thanks to @steeve.
• go_proto_library no longer implicitly depends on APIv1 Well Known Type
  packages. Since protoc 3.14, the Well Known Types declare APIv2 package paths,
  which means generated code that imports them will import APIv2 packages,
  so the APIv1 dependencies are unnecessary.

Compatibility

• Bazel 4.0.0 (LTS) or higher is now required. The previous minimum version
  was 3.5.0.

Updated dependencies

As always, you can use higher versions of rules_go's dependencies by declaring
them in WORKSPACE before calling go_rules_dependencies. Lower versions may
work but are not supported.

• org_golang_x_tools updated to v0.1.4
• org_golang_x_sys updated to master as of 2021-06-30.
• rules_cc updated to main as of 2021-06-30.
• org_golang_google_protobuf updated to v1.27.1.
• org_github_golang_protobuf updated to v1.5.2.
• org_golang_google_genproto updated to master as of 2021-06-30.
• go_googleapis updated to master as of 2021-06-30.

• org_golang_x_tools is updated to v0.1.0.
