bazel-skylib/docs/build_test_doc.md

A test verifying other targets build as part of a bazel test

build_test

build_test(name, targets, kwargs)

Test rule checking that other targets build.

This works not by an instance of this test failing, but instead by the targets it depends on failing to build, and hence failing the attempt to run this test.

Typical usage:

  load("@bazel_skylib//rules:build_test.bzl", "build_test")
  build_test(
      name = "my_build_test",
      targets = [
          "//some/package:rule",
      ],
  )

targets	A list of targets to ensure build.	none
kwargs	The <a href="https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/be/common-definitions.html#common-attributes-tests">common attributes for tests</a>.	none
