Build

This plugin can be built with Bazel, and two build modes are supported:

  • Standalone
  • In Gerrit tree

Standalone build mode is recommended, as this mode doesn't require local Gerrit tree to exist. Moreover, there are some limitations and additional manual steps required when building in Gerrit tree mode (see corresponding sections).

To build the plugin, issue the following command:

  bazel build @PLUGIN@

The output is created in
