C++ project with Bazel and GTest

Question

I want to create a Bazel C++ project with gtest for unit tests.

What is the minimal setup?

(I only have Bazel installed on my computer and I am running under Linux)

Answer 1

This is even easier now that googletest provides a BUILD file:

In WORKSPACE

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:git.bzl", "git_repository") git_repository(     name = "gtest",     remote = "https://github.com/google/googletest",     branch = "v1.10.x", ) 

In BUILD

cc_test (     name = "hello_test",     srcs = [         "hello_test.cc",     ],     deps = [         "@gtest//:gtest",         "@gtest//:gtest_main" # Only if hello_test.cc has no main()     ], )
