Bazel BUILD files virtual directory structure not understood by CLion

Hello,

Bazel BUILD files provide two tags that modify the include path of a file: "include_prefix" and "strip_include_prefix".

Clion does not seem to understand the latter, as such he always complains about my #include paths and tries to add different ones for me.

Of course, if I add those CLion wishes for me to use, the project won't compile as Bazel will have a problem with them.

I appreciate Clion is mainly based on CMake, but since JB wrote a plugin for Bazel, it would be nice if I could use the full brightness of the search engine when using it.

So my question is: am I doing something wrong, or is this feature not implemented?

Example of the issue:

My project structure:

project/include/dog.hpp

project/BUILD

BUILD content:

cc_library(

name = "doglib"

hdrs = ["include/dog.hpp"]

include_prefix = "animal/land"

strip_include_prefix = "include"

)

If I want to include dog.hpp from another part of my codebase I need to use the following #include or the compiler won't find the header in its include path, because of how Bazel virtual include path works:

#include <animal/land/dog.hpp>

What Clion wants me to use is

#include <animal/land/include/dog.hpp>
