This object holds information about the environment in which the build is running. See the Rules page for more on the general concept of configurations.

​
coverage_enabled

bool configuration.coverage_enabled
A boolean that tells whether code coverage is enabled for this run. Note that this does not compute whether a specific rule should be instrumented for code coverage data collection. For that, see the ctx.coverage_instrumented function.

​
default_shell_env

dict configuration.default_shell_env
A dictionary representing the static local shell environment. It maps variables to their values (strings).

​
host_path_separator

string configuration.host_path_separator
Returns the separator for PATH environment variable, which is ’:’ on Unix.

​
short_id

string configuration.short_id
A short identifier for this configuration understood by the config and query subcommands. Use this to distinguish different configurations for the same target in a way that is friendly to humans and tool usage, for example in an aspect used by an IDE. Keep in mind the following caveats:
  • The value may differ across Bazel versions, including patch releases.
  • The value encodes the value of every flag, including those that aren’t otherwise relevant for the current target and may thus invalidate caches more frequently.

    test_env

    dict configuration.test_env
    A dictionary containing user-specified test environment variables and their values, as set by the —test_env options. DO NOT USE! This is not the complete environment!
