<!-- {% raw %} -->

A context object that is passed to the implementation function for a rule or aspect. It provides access to the information and methods needed to analyze the current target.<p>In particular, it lets the implementation function access the current target's label, attributes, configuration, and the providers of its dependencies. It has methods for declaring output files and the actions that produce them.<p>Context objects essentially live for the duration of the call to the implementation function. It is not useful to access these objects outside of their associated function. See the <a href='https://bazel.build/versions/6.0.0/extending/rules#implementation_function'>Rules page</a> for more information.

    A struct to access the values of the <a href='https://bazel.build/versions/6.0.0/extending/rules#attributes'>attributes</a>. The values are provided by the user (if not, a default value is used). The attributes of the struct and the types of their values correspond to the keys and values of the <a href='globals.html#rule.attrs'><code>attrs</code> dict</a> provided to the <a href='globals.html#rule'><code>rule</code> function</a>. <a href="https://github.com/bazelbuild/examples/blob/main/rules/attributes/printer.bzl">See example of use</a>.

        <h2 id="build_setting_value">build_setting_value</h2>
        <p><pre class="rule-signature">unknown ctx.build_setting_value</pre></p>

    <b>Experimental. This field is experimental and subject to change at any time. Do not depend on it.</b> <p>The value of the build setting that is represented by the current target. It is an error to access this field for rules that do not set the <code>build_setting</code> attribute in their rule definition.


        <h2 id="configuration">configuration</h2>
        <p><pre class="rule-signature"><a class="anchor" href="configuration.html">configuration</a> ctx.configuration</pre></p>

    The default configuration. See the <a href="configuration.html">configuration</a> type for more details.

        <p><pre class="rule-signature"><a class="anchor" href="bool.html">bool</a> ctx.coverage_instrumented(target=None)</pre></p>

    Returns whether code coverage instrumentation should be generated when performing compilation actions for this rule or, if <code>target</code> is provided, the rule specified by that Target. (If a non-rule or a Starlark rule Target is provided, this returns False.) Checks if the sources of the current rule (if no Target is provided) or the sources of Target should be instrumented based on the --instrumentation_filter and --instrument_test_targets config settings. This differs from <code>coverage_enabled</code> in the <a href="configuration.html">configuration</a>, which notes whether coverage data collection is enabled for the entire run, but not whether a specific target should be instrumented.

    For rules with <a href="globals.html#rule._skylark_testable">_skylark_testable</a> set to <code>True</code>, this returns an <a href="globals.html#Actions">Actions</a> provider representing all actions created so far for the current rule.

Note that the provider is not updated when subsequent actions are created, so you will have to call this function again if you wish to inspect them. <br/><br/>This is intended to help write tests for rule-implementation helper functions, which may take in a <code>ctx</code> object and create actions on it.

        <h2 id="executable">executable</h2>
        <p><pre class="rule-signature"><a class="anchor" href="struct.html">struct</a> ctx.executable</pre></p>

    A <code>struct</code> containing executable files defined in <a href='attr.html#label'>label type attributes</a> marked as <a href='attr.html#label.executable'><code>executable=True</code><a>. The struct fields correspond to the attribute names. Each value in the struct is either a <a href='File.html'><code>File</code></a> or <code>None</code>. If an optional attribute is not specified in the rule then the corresponding struct value is <code>None</code>. If a label type is not marked as <code>executable=True</code>, no corresponding struct field is generated. <a href="https://github.com/bazelbuild/examples/blob/main/rules/actions_run/execute.bzl">See example of use</a>.

        <p><pre class="rule-signature"><a class="anchor" href="string.html">string</a> ctx.expand_location(input, targets=[], short_paths=False)</pre></p>

    Expands all <code>$(location ...)</code> templates in the given string by replacing <code>$(location //x)</code> with the path of the output file of target //x. Expansion only works for labels that point to direct dependencies of this rule or that are explicitly listed in the optional argument <code>targets</code>. <br/><br/><code>$(location ...)</code> will cause an error if the referenced target has multiple outputs. In this case, please use <code>$(locations ...)</code> since it produces a space-separated list of output paths. It can be safely used for a single output file, too.<br/><br/>This function is useful to let the user specify a command in a BUILD file (like for <code>genrule</code>). In other cases, it is often better to manipulate labels directly.

    DEPRECATED. Use <a href="actions.html#declare_file">ctx.actions.declare_file</a>. <br>Creates a file object. There are four possible signatures to this method:<br><ul><li>new_file(filename): Creates a file object with the given filename in the current package.</li><li>new_file(file_root, filename): Creates a file object with the given filename under the given file root.</li><li>new_file(sibling_file, filename): Creates a file object in the same directory as the given sibling file.</li><li>new_file(file_root, sibling_file, suffix): Creates a file object with same base name of the sibling_file but with different given suffix, under the given file root.</li></ul> <br>Does not actually create a file on the file system, just declares that some action will do so. You must create an action that generates the file. If the file should be visible to other rules, declare a rule output instead when possible. Doing so enables Blaze to associate a label with the file that rules can refer to (allowing finer dependency control) instead of referencing the whole rule.

        <p><pre class="rule-signature">structure ctx.outputs</pre></p>

    A pseudo-struct containing all the predeclared output files, represented by <a href='File.html'><code>File</code></a> objects. See the <a href='https://bazel.build/versions/6.0.0/extending/rules#files'>Rules page</a> for more information and examples.<p>This field does not exist on aspect contexts, since aspects do not have predeclared outputs.<p>The fields of this object are defined as follows. It is an error if two outputs produce the same field name or have the same label.<ul><li>If the rule declares an <a href='globals.html#rule.outputs'><code>outputs</code></a> dict, then for every entry in the dict, there is a field whose name is the key and whose value is the corresponding <code>File</code>.<li>For every attribute of type <a href='attr.html#output'><code>attr.output</code></a> that the rule declares, there is a field whose name is the attribute's name. If the target specified a label for that attribute, then the field value is the corresponding <code>File</code>; otherwise the field value is <code>None</code>.<li>For every attribute of type <a href='attr.html#output_list'><code>attr.output_list</code></a> that the rule declares, there is a field whose name is the attribute's name. The field value is a list of <code>File</code> objects corresponding to the labels given for that attribute in the target, or an empty list if the attribute was not specified in the target.<li><b>(Deprecated)</b> If the rule is marked <a href='globals.html#rule.executable'><code>executable</code></a> or <a href='globals.html#rule.test'><code>test</code></a>, there is a field named <code>"executable"</code>, which is the default executable. It is recommended that instead of using this, you pass another file (either predeclared or not) to the <code>executable</code> arg of <a href='DefaultInfo.html'><code>DefaultInfo</code></a>.</ul>

    <i>(Experimental)</i> Returns a tuple <code>(inputs, command, input_manifests)</code> of the list of resolved inputs, the argv list for the resolved command, and the runfiles metadata required to run the command, all of them suitable for passing as the same-named arguments of the <code>ctx.action</code> method.<br/><b>Note for Windows users</b>: this method requires Bash (MSYS2). Consider using <code>resolve_tools()</code> instead (if that fits your needs).

    A struct to access the values of attributes with split configurations.
