Currently, we provide single-file tools such as `ctags`, `gsutil` etc via an `sh_binary` wrapper, to have a single target to reference that automatically does platform selection of the underlying tool. Due to some [unfortunate reason](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/11820), the underlying srcs (which is [a single file](https://bazel.build/reference/be/shell#sh_binary.srcs)) of an `sh_binary` are also exposed as outputs (rather than just as typical runfiles) alongside the script that wraps. This is _sometimes_ problematic when doing location expansion (e.g. `$(location ...)`) due to these only allowing a single output (dont ask why this works in some contexts but not others, I dont know). To address this, we create a wrapper macro + rule to replicate what we want from `sh_binary` (automatic platform selection + tool naming), while only exposing a singular file. See example of currently required approach to consuming a tool: [BUILD.bazel](https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/62801/files#diff-e2a562c2e13908933b2ee24f0ac596829b38a5325cc69a4aee05c383aaa2e494R8) & [main_test.go](https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/62801/files#diff-7a91cb5143064bfc8993ef97baf68b718ef49747ccc1d3c5e1150d4696b88305R66). With this change, `rlocationpath` (singular) can be used instead (or any of the other singular nouns in different contexts), as well as no `strings.Split/strings.Fields` being required ## Test plan `bazel cquery --output=files //dev/tools:dropdb` yields 1 vs 2 files. Also updated the rule behind `//internal/database:generate_schemas` due to the workaround in it for the fact that the underlying srcs was also exposed. The correctness is verified by running said target (locally + CI) |
