# Quickstart: Building with Bazel | ||
|
||
This tutorial aims to get you up and running with GoogleTest using the Bazel | ||
build system. If you're using GoogleTest for the first time or need a refresher, | ||
we recommend this tutorial as a starting point. | ||
|
||
## Prerequisites | ||
|
||
To complete this tutorial, you'll need: | ||
|
||
* A compatible operating system (e.g. Linux, macOS, Windows). | ||
* A compatible C++ compiler that supports at least C++11. | ||
* [Bazel](https://bazel.build/), the preferred build system used by the | ||
GoogleTest team. | ||
|
||
See [Supported Platforms](platforms.md) for more information about platforms | ||
compatible with GoogleTest. | ||
|
||
If you don't already have Bazel installed, see the | ||
[Bazel installation guide](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/install.html). | ||
|
||
{: .callout .note} | ||
Note: The terminal commands in this tutorial show a Unix shell prompt, but the | ||
commands work on the Windows command line as well. | ||
|
||
## Set up a Bazel workspace | ||
|
||
A | ||
[Bazel workspace](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/build-ref.html#workspace) | ||
is a directory on your filesystem that you use to manage source files for the | ||
software you want to build. Each workspace directory has a text file named | ||
`WORKSPACE` which may be empty, or may contain references to external | ||
dependencies required to build the outputs. | ||
|
||
First, create a directory for your workspace: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
$ mkdir my_workspace && cd my_workspace | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Next, you’ll create the `WORKSPACE` file to specify dependencies. A common and | ||
recommended way to depend on GoogleTest is to use a | ||
[Bazel external dependency](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/external.html) | ||
via the | ||
[`http_archive` rule](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/repo/http.html#http_archive). | ||
To do this, in the root directory of your workspace (`my_workspace/`), create a | ||
file named `WORKSPACE` with the following contents: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive") | ||
http_archive( | ||
name = "com_google_googletest", | ||
urls = ["https://github.com/google/googletest/archive/609281088cfefc76f9d0ce82e1ff6c30cc3591e5.zip"], | ||
strip_prefix = "googletest-609281088cfefc76f9d0ce82e1ff6c30cc3591e5", | ||
) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The above configuration declares a dependency on GoogleTest which is downloaded | ||
as a ZIP archive from GitHub. In the above example, | ||
`609281088cfefc76f9d0ce82e1ff6c30cc3591e5` is the Git commit hash of the | ||
GoogleTest version to use; we recommend updating the hash often to point to the | ||
latest version. | ||
|
||
Bazel also needs a dependency on the | ||
[`rules_cc` repository](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_cc) to build C++ | ||
code, so add the following to the `WORKSPACE` file: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
http_archive( | ||
name = "rules_cc", | ||
urls = ["https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_cc/archive/40548a2974f1aea06215272d9c2b47a14a24e556.zip"], | ||
strip_prefix = "rules_cc-40548a2974f1aea06215272d9c2b47a14a24e556", | ||
) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Now you're ready to build C++ code that uses GoogleTest. | ||
|
||
## Create and run a binary | ||
|
||
With your Bazel workspace set up, you can now use GoogleTest code within your | ||
own project. | ||
|
||
As an example, create a file named `hello_test.cc` in your `my_workspace` | ||
directory with the following contents: | ||
|
||
```cpp | ||
#include <gtest/gtest.h> | ||
|
||
// Demonstrate some basic assertions. | ||
TEST(HelloTest, BasicAssertions) { | ||
// Expect two strings not to be equal. | ||
EXPECT_STRNE("hello", "world"); | ||
// Expect equality. | ||
EXPECT_EQ(7 * 6, 42); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
GoogleTest provides [assertions](primer.md#assertions) that you use to test the | ||
behavior of your code. The above sample includes the main GoogleTest header file | ||
and demonstrates some basic assertions. | ||
To build the code, create a file named `BUILD` in the same directory with the | ||
following contents: | ||
``` | ||
load("@rules_cc//cc:defs.bzl", "cc_test") | ||
|
||
cc_test( | ||
name = "hello_test", | ||
size = "small", | ||
srcs = ["hello_test.cc"], | ||
deps = ["@com_google_googletest//:gtest_main"], | ||
) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This `cc_test` rule declares the C++ test binary you want to build, and links to | ||
GoogleTest (`//:gtest_main`) using the prefix you specified in the `WORKSPACE` | ||
file (`@com_google_googletest`). For more information about Bazel `BUILD` files, | ||
see the | ||
[Bazel C++ Tutorial](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/tutorial/cpp.html). | ||
|
||
Now you can build and run your test: | ||
|
||
<pre> | ||
<strong>my_workspace$ bazel test --test_output=all //:hello_test</strong> | ||
INFO: Analyzed target //:hello_test (26 packages loaded, 362 targets configured). | ||
INFO: Found 1 test target... | ||
