Description of the problem / feature request:
Right now, I could not find a way to use environment variables in .bazelrc.
What i want to do is
$export GIT_ROOT=/workspace/project_name
and then in /workspace/project_name/.bazelrc
$cat /workspace/project_name/.bazelrc
build --action_env=GIT_ROOT="$GIT_ROOT" # where $GIT_ROOT is the environment variable.
Feature requests: what underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?
Pass on Environment variable to a bazel rule which runs a script.
Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.
What operating system are you running Bazel on?
Linux and mac
What's the output of bazel info release?
latest
If bazel info release returns "development version" or "(@Non-Git)", tell us how you built Bazel.
What's the output of git remote get-url origin ; git rev-parse master ; git rev-parse HEAD ?
Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?
