Exclude convenience symlinks after changing the output base
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When the output base is changed after the convenience symlinks have been created, queries such as `//...` try to traverse into them and load them as packages since they are only excluded based on whether the resolved location is in the output base. This adds some heuristics to determine if a symlink is a convenience symlink:

1. The symlink name has an appropriate suffix.
2. An ancestor of the symlink target at the appropriate level is called `execroot`.
3. The `execroot` directory contains a file called `DO_NOT_BUILD_HERE`.

These heuristics should work if both the output base and the symlink prefix change while being quite robust to false positives.

This is important for IDE integration, where the [output base is often changed](https://bazel.build/run/scripts#output-base-option) for queries, to prevent concurrent builds from blocking them. An example of this is the vscode-bazel extension.

Fixes bazelbuild#10653
Fixes bazelbuild#13951

Closes bazelbuild#21005.
