clang-tidy: command not found

[davidzchen]

I am trying to use this build extension, but I am getting the following error:

Use --sandbox_debug to see verbose messages from the sandbox and retain the sandbox build root for debugging
bazel-out/darwin_arm64-fastbuild/bin/external/bazel_clang_tidy/clang_tidy/clang_tidy: line 40: clang-tidy: command not found

I am running this on macOS 14.1.1. Is there a way to configure the path to clang-tidy, ideally in a BUILD file instead of in the command? On my installation, clang-tidy is installed under /opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/bin/clang-tidy.

Thanks in advance.

Does this attribute help?

Alternatively, you can add your extra bin path to PATH. (if the code is shared with other, hardcoding the tidy path might not be best)

Thanks for the pointer.

This may be a dumb question but how do I set that attribute from my project (or command)?

I see this section of the documentation about using a non-system clang-tidy, but @local_config_cc// does not seem to exist when I run bazel query on it:

$ bazel query "@local_config_cc//*"
ERROR: no such package '@@local_config_cc//*': BUILD file not found in directory '*' of external repository @@local_config_cc. Add a BUILD file to a directory to mark it as a package.

I also looked at the BUILD file under bazel-<project>/external/local_config_cc, but there is no reference to clang-tidy in there.
