Description

@gregestren

Description of the problem / feature request:

cfg = "data" is outdated syntax that was turned into a no-op in 10a6130.

The functionality this was originally intended for will be provided by Starlark build configuration.

Feature requests: what underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?

Remove outdated code & clean up technical debt.

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

Support can already be toggled with --incompatible_disallow_data_transition:

$ cat testapp/rules.bzl
def _foo_rule_impl(ctx):
    return []

foo_rule = rule(
    implementation = _foo_rule_impl,
    attrs = {
        "data": attr.label_list(cfg = "data"),
    },
)

$ cat testapp/BUILD
load("//testapp:rules.bzl", "foo_rule")

foo_rule(
    name = "g",
)

$ bazel build //testapp:g --incompatible_disallow_data_transition=false  [default]
INFO: Build completed successfully, 1 total action

$ bazel build //testapp:g --incompatible_disallow_data_transition
ERROR: /workspace/testapp/rules.bzl:7:17: Traceback (most recent call last):

	File "/workspace/testapp/rules.bzl", line 7, in rule
		attr.label_list(cfg = "data")
Using cfg = "data" on an attribute is a noop and no longer supported. Please remove it.
You can use --incompatible_disallow_data_transition=false to temporarily disable this
check.
