bazel-cpp-boilerplate

Bazel boilerplate with C++ and GoogleTest.

How to build and run

First, make sure you have Bazel installed.

bazel build :all

bazel run :hello_main

Running the tests

bazel test --test_output=all :all

Autocomplete with Neovim

Because we are using Bazel, clangd autocomplete in Neovim doesn't know where to find the headers. To fix it, I'm using Hedron's Compile Commands Extractor for Bazel.

Execute the following command to fix autocomplete when new dependencies are installed:

bazel run @hedron_compile_commands//:refresh_all

Resources

• Bazel as the build tool.
• Google Test for testing.
• Abseil as an opensource collection of C++ libraries.
• Bazel Compile Commands Extractor to support autocompletion in Neovim and IDEs.
