bazel-bats: bazel test rules for the BATS testing framework (bats-core)

bazel_dep(name = "bazel_bats", version = "0.36.4")

Support for WORKSPACE was removed starting from bazel-bats 0.35.0. If you must use WORKSPACE, refer to earlier releases. Please acknowledge that earlier releases are not supported.

In your BUILD.bazel file add the following:

load("@bazel_bats//:rules.bzl", "bats_test")

bats_test(
  name = "hello_world_test",
  srcs = ["hello_world.bats"],
)

If your test would like to make use of the bats-assert extension (assert_success, assert_failure, assert_output, etc), simply add uses_bats_assert = True to your bats_test() target. This still requires adding the appropriate load statements in your test file.

This repository is an example of a repo with BATS tests. If you have bazel installed, you can try it out as follows:

git clone https://github.com/filmil/bazel-bats.git
cd bazel-bats
bazel test //...

Feel free to take a look at the WORKSPACE file to see how your workspace file should look like and at tests/BUILD.bazel to see a sample build file.

To run the integration tests, change to the integration/ directory and run,

cd integration
bazel test //...
