SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Managing module dependencies in the IntelliJ codebase can be error-prone when editing iml files directly. This guide provides a clear approach to track, adjust, and validate module dependencies to ensure consistent and reliable builds.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IML-to-Bazel generator: Converts .iml-defined module dependencies to Bazel BUILD files to keep build systems in sync.
  • Auto-generated section awareness: Generator updates only auto-generated sections of BUILD files, preserving custom edits.
  • Skip generation marker: Allows selectively disabling generation for specific sections.

Quick Start

Run the IML-to-Bazel Generator after editing .iml files to refresh BUILD.bazel files.

Frequently Asked Questions about module-dependencies

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update IntelliJ module dependencies in iml files?▼

Update IntelliJ module dependencies by editing .iml files to add, remove, or adjust dependencies, then run the IML-to-Bazel generator to sync changes into Bazel BUILD files for consistent builds.

How does the IML-to-Bazel generator handle custom edits in BUILD files?▼

The IML-to-Bazel generator updates only auto-generated sections of BUILD files, preserving any custom edits you made outside those marked areas to prevent unintended overwrites.

Can I disable Bazel build generation for specific module dependencies?▼

Yes, you can selectively disable generation for specific sections by using a skip generation marker, which prevents the IML-to-Bazel generator from overwriting those dependencies.

What is the best way to keep Bazel build scripts in sync with IntelliJ project configuration?▼

The best way to keep Bazel build scripts in sync is to modify your module dependencies in .iml files and run the IML-to-Bazel generator to refresh the BUILD.bazel files.

Why do my Bazel BUILD files not reflect changes made to IntelliJ module dependencies?▼

Bazel BUILD files do not reflect .iml changes automatically because the IML-to-Bazel generator must be manually executed after editing module dependencies to refresh the build configuration.
