To try the plugin, first check that you have Aspect installed, by running bazel version
and checking for
Aspect CLI version
in the output.
First build the plugin from source:
% bazel build ...
Note that the .aspect/cli/config.yaml
file has a reference to the path under bazel-bin
where the plugin binary was just written.
On the first build, you'll see a warning printed that the plugin doesn't exist at this path.
This is just the development flow for working on plugins; users will reference the plugin's releases which are downloaded for them automatically.
Just push a tag to your GitHub repo. The actions integration will create a release.
