No way to tell bazel to list all targets without building or testing them

Question

Is there a way to instruct bazel to list all the targets it has found without building or testing them?

Answer 1

bazel query can be used to discover targets within a bazel workspace (without building / testing them)

For example;

To find all labels in a given package:

bazel query //some/package:*

If only interested in rules, then:

bazel query 'kind(.*rule, //some/package:*)'

//some/package:* could be substituted for any valid label expression, eg including all descending packages, //some/package/...

The bazel query docs show further functions that could be used.
