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.

NOTE: At the moment, this won't work on Windows; but someone adding support would be welcomed.

Typical usage:

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

Parameters

name	required. The name of the test rule.
targets	required. A list of targets to ensure build.
kwargs	optional. The common attributes for tests.
