Passing file to .bazelrc using --action_env

See original GitHub issue

I have a file called lsan.supp that I want to pass to .bazelrc so that it is loaded every time bazel --config=asan is called.

It is in the same directory and means that some memory leak errors are ignored as test failures.

build:asan --copt=-fsanitize=address --copt=-fno-omit-frame-pointer --linkopt=-fsanitize=address --action_env=LSAN_OPTIONS=suppressions=lsan.supp

This gives me the error:

AddressSanitizer: failed to read suppressions file 'lsan.supp' when I call bazel --config=asan from another directory.

Is there a way to provide this path to .bazelrc in such a way that it is resolved correctly.

Thanks for your help

There are other options that resolve %workspace% to your project directory, but --action_env isn’t one of them. We might be able to add that capability to --action_env, looping in @aehlig for opinions on that.

I’m actually surprised it’s ever working for you, since lsan.supp wouldn’t exist in the execution root (never mind the sandbox) unless you’re specifying it as a dependency of your C++ rules. If you are, as a workaround, you could give the absolute path.

I have the same issue. Use %workspace% as file path prefix does not work. Any progress on this FR?
