rules_batch

Bazel rules for Microsoft Batch.

Setup

bazel_dep(name = "rules_batch", version = "{version}")

Overview

rules_batch provides Bazel rules for building and testing Microsoft Batch (.bat / .cmd) scripts. The rules handle runfiles propagation, dependency tracking, and runtime path resolution so that batch scripts integrate cleanly into Bazel builds.

The rule set consists of:

• bat_binary -- declares an executable batch script.
• bat_test -- declares a test batch script.
• bat_library -- groups batch scripts and data for reuse as dependencies.

Example

load("@rules_batch//batch:bat_binary.bzl", "bat_binary")
load("@rules_batch//batch:bat_library.bzl", "bat_library")

bat_library(
    name = "helpers",
    srcs = ["helper.bat"],
)

bat_binary(
    name = "tool",
    srcs = ["main.bat"],
    deps = [":helpers"],
)

Runfiles

To resolve runfiles paths at runtime, add @rules_batch//batch/runfiles to your target's deps and use the runfiles preamble in your script:

call "%RLOCATION%" "workspace/path/to/file" RESULT_VAR

See the Runfiles page for the full preamble, repo mapping, and manifest discovery details.
