About:
ibazel is a file watcher for Bazel that automatically triggers builds and tests when source files change. It streamlines the development workflow by eliminating the need for manual command execution. This tool significantly improves developer productivity in Bazel-based projects.
Key Features:
  • Automatic rebuilds on file changes
  • Supports build, test, and run commands
  • Low-latency change detection
  • Integrates with Bazel query
Use Cases:
  • Continuous testing during development
  • Live reloading of applications
  • Rapid iteration on Bazel targets
Alternatives:
  • Bazel watch – Native Bazel watch is less reliable and feature-complete
  • Guard – Generic file watchers that require custom Bazel integration
