This project is a front-end only Build Event Protocol (BEP) Viewer.
It provides a user-friendly interface to visualize and analyze build events generated by Bazel.
Being a pure front-end is a core tenet of this codebase. The goal is to provide as much diagnostic insight into your Bazel build without the need of a server.
I was really inspired by all the awesome other tools that are available that provide similar diagnostics with the use of a server such as: BuildBuddy, bb-portal, blade and Bzl UI.
If you are using Nix, you can easily run this locally.
nix run github:fzakaria/build-event-protocol-viewernpm install
npm run devThe application will be available at the printed port for a development server.
- Open your browser and navigate to
http://localhost:3000. - Upload your Bazel build event binary proto file.
- Explore and analyze the build events using the provided interface.
- Why is the Typescript/Javascript/Svelte so bad!?
I am not a frontend developer and this is my best attempt. Please contribute improvements.
- Why not just use X (BuildBuddy, etc..) ?
I wanted a front-end only solution so that I can contribute it to the community and not have to manage any infrastructure. If you want more insights across invocations, I recommend those solutions.
- Why doesn't this use Bazel to build!?
See #1. I'm happy to learn how to maket his an idiomatic Bazel build as well.
