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 + +// 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: + +
+my_workspace$ bazel test --test_output=all //:hello_test
