Project View File
Seems to be this one:
directories:
# Add the directories you want added as source here
# By default, we've added your entire workspace ('.')
.
# Automatically includes all relevant targets under the 'directories' above
derive_targets_from_directories: true
targets:
# If source code isn't resolving, add additional targets that compile it here
additional_languages:
# Uncomment any additional languages you want supported
# android
# dart
# go
# javascript
# kotlin
# python
# scala
# typescript
# Uncomment to run this target before every sync
# gazelle_target: //:gazelle

Starlark
Bazelisk
A bazel runner. as "Bazel binary location" in the Bazel IntelliJ Plugin.
Bazel and IntelliJ
Sync Process
The sync process queries Bazel for information and builds IntelliJ project structure to fid Bazel's model. It runs automatically during a project import, and manually by clicking on the sync icon in the menu bar, or partially syncing packages and individual files in contextual menus.
If the file is not reachable from Bazel targets, it will show up as unsynced in the IDE.

rules_go
Reconcile with Bazel_BUILD_Files#Build_Rules.
nogo
nogo is a tool that analyzes source code of Go programs. It runs alongside the Go compiler in the Bazel Go rules and rejects programs that contain disallowing coding patterns. In addition, nogo may report compiler-like errors. It may be used to run the same analyses as vet.
Analyzers
nogo Configuration
nogo is configured with a JSON file that specifies analyzers:
{
"structtag": {
"exclude_files": {
"vendor/": "vendor tools don't pass vet",
"external/": "external tools don't pass vet"
}
},
"exhaustive": {
"exclude_files": {
"vendor/": "vendor tools don't pass vet",
"external/": "external tools don't pass vet"
}
},
...
}
To exclude completely all files:
"exhaustive": {
"exclude_files": {
".*": "disable completely"
}
},
gazelle
Updates Bazel configuration files.
Example:
bazel run //:gazelle -- update-repos golang.org/x/sys@v0.13.0
adds the following line to the WORKSPACE file:
go_repository(
name = "org_golang_x_sys",
importpath = "golang.org/x/sys",
sum = "h1:Af8nKPmuFypiUBjVoU9V20FiaFXOcuZI21p0ycVYYGE=",
version = "v0.13.0",
)
vet
