Fix test when run as root.

Previously was changing directory modes to raise permission denied
errors.  But root doesn't get those errors, so the test failed.

I ran into this while running Bazel inside Docker as root.

Subpar

Build Status

Subpar is a utility for creating self-contained python executables. It is designed to work well with Bazel.

Setup

  • Add the following to your WORKSPACE file:
git_repository(
    name = "subpar",
    remote = "https://github.com/google/subpar",
    commit = "HEAD",
)
  • Add the following to the top of any BUILD files that declare par_binary() rules:
load("@subpar//:subpar.bzl", "par_binary")

Usage

par_binary() is a drop-in replacement for py_binary() that also builds a self-contained, single-file executable for the application, with a .par file extension.

The .par file is created alongside the python stub and .runfiles directories that py_binary() creates, but is independent of them. It can be copied to other directories or machines, and executed directly without needing the .runfiles directory. The body of the .par file contains all the srcs, deps, and data files listed.

Limitations:

  • C extension modules in ‘deps’ is not yet supported
  • Automatic re-extraction of ‘.runfiles’ is not yet supported
  • Does not include a copy of the Python interpreter (‘hermetic .par’)

Example

par_binary(
    name = 'foo',
    srcs = ['foo.py', 'bar.py'],
    deps = ['//baz:some_py_lib'],
    data = ['quux.dat'],
)

This results in the following files being created by bazel build:

bazel-bin/
    package/
        foo
        foo.par
        foo.runfiles/
            ...

The .par file can be copied, moved, or renamed, and still run like a compiled executable file:

$ scp bazel-bin/package/foo.par my-other-machine:foo.par
$ ssh my-other-machine ./foo.par

System Requirements

  • Python Versions: CPython versions 2.7.6+
  • Operating Systems: Debian-derived Linux, including Ubuntu and Goobuntu.
