How to write files to current directory instead of bazel-out
I have the following directory structure: my_dir | --> src | | | --> foo.cc | --> BUILD | --> WORKSPACE | --> bazel-out/ (symlink) | | ... src/BUILD contains the following code: cc_binary( name = "foo", srcs = ["foo.cc"] ) The file foo.cc creates a file named bar.txt using the regular way with <fstream> utilities. However, when I invoke Bazel with bazel run //src:foo the file bar.txt is created and placed in bazel-out/darwin-fastbuild/bin/src/foo.runfiles/foo/bar.txt instead of my_dir/src/bar.txt , where the original source is. I tried adding an outs field to the foo rule, but Bazel complained
