bazel clean seems to be broken

bazel clean
WARNING: Blaze clean does not support starlark options. Ignoring options: [--@rules_cuda//cuda:cuda_targets=sm_60, --@rules_cuda//cuda:compiler=clang]
ERROR: Unrecognized arguments: --@rules_cuda//cuda:cuda_runtime=@tf_runtime//backends/gpu:cuda_stubs

Perhaps related to bazelbuild/bazel#11506 ?

Yes, there is a bug in bazel. You can work around it with bazel --bazelrc=/dev/null clean --expunge

Thanks for the workaround. One small thing though, do you mean bazel --noworkspace_rc clean --expunge?
(--bazelrc=/dev/null is documented to ignore any following --bazelrc flags and as far as I can tell, it doesn't prevent the workspace .bazelrc from being used)

[chsigg]

You are absolutely right. I didn't test the workaround and wasn't aware of this difference between OSS bazel and Google-internal blaze.

No worries. After all, bazel itself still has plenty of leftover blaze references around :)

bazel --noworkspace_rc clean --expunge is the right workaround until bazelbuild/bazel#11506 is fixed. Closing.
