py_test/sh_test pulls in unnecessary java repositories at runtime (0.26)

[Profpatsch]

Description of the problem / feature request:

Bazel 0.26 tries to download remote_java_tools_linux for a trivial BUILD file using the py_binary rule.

I’d expect bazel to support its builtin rules without depending on external repositories.

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

Please see the minimal repro here: https://github.com/Profpatsch/repros/tree/master/bazel-python_binary-downloads-repostitories

Go offline and run the command in the repro.

What operating system are you running Bazel on?

$ uname -a
Linux shiki 4.19.34 #1-NixOS SMP Fri Apr 5 20:33:17 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

What's the output of bazel info release?

$ bazel info release
release 0.26.0- (@non-git)

If bazel info release returns "development version" or "(@non-git)", tell us how you built Bazel.

$ git clone https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs
$ git fetch [email protected]:groodt/nixpkgs bazel-0.26.0
$ git checkout FETCH_HEAD
$ nix-build -A bazel

What's the output of git remote get-url origin ; git rev-parse master ; git rev-parse HEAD ?

non-applicable

This is not specific to Python. I'm able to reproduce it for sh_test. Note that this happens when you build a py_test but not when it's just a py_binary target.

The problem is that all Test rules depend on @bazel_tools//tools/test:coverage_report_generator, whether coverage is enabled or not.

Hi there! We're doing a clean up of old issues and will be closing this one. Please reopen if you’d like to discuss anything further. We’ll respond as soon as we have the bandwidth/resources to do so.

I believe this was fixed by #16995.

@sgowroji Could you close as completed?
