how to specify my python path ?

[CaichaoGitHub]

i encounter a python problem:

ERROR: error loading package 'bazel-stage1/external/bazel_tools/third_party/def_parser': Label '//tools/python:private/defs.bzl' is invalid because 'tools/python' is not a package; perhaps you meant to put the colon here: '//:tools/python/private/defs.bzl'?

and i try this

it's not working

I am having the same error. And, I don't think that it's not coming from the python lib path.
If you copy and paste the command that failed in my case. bazel --output_base=/var/folders/ys/superlongpath query ...:* --output=package, I can reproduce the error.

The funny thing is when I open the project github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go.git the extension works well and there's no python there.

So, obviously something is missing. I will try to see what's missing in my VS project to make it work and I will let you know.

OK, FINALLY, I found a workaround that works for me

Please, go to your visual code setting and remove Bazel:Queries share folder.
For some reason using an output_base makes bazel query ...:* fail which is so strange

is it because I am using Bazelisk?

bazel version Bazelisk version: 1.6.1 Build label: 3.5.0 Build target: bazel-out/darwin-opt/bin/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/bazel/BazelServer_deploy.jar Build time: Wed Sep 2 20:16:21 2020 (1599077781) Build timestamp: 1599077781

Anyway, I leave that to the vscode-bazel team.

@bbourbie

i could't use the vscode-bazel all the time ;did you try xcode or clion , i tried the xcode's external building and clion's custom build target, i could't debug the program by gdb or lldb

[bbourbie]

No, sorry, I only use VSCode and I don't use any debugger.

This is a duplicate of this issue AFAICT

#216

Try this, it worked for me:
bazelbuild/bazel#10653 (comment)

You'll need to ensure you name your workspace. To do that put workspace(name="UNIQUE_NAME_HERE") at the top of your projects WORKSPACE file.
