Some commonly used bazel macros and tools that I use.

• github_repo macro
• linters for cpp and python
• google cpp dependencies for

Usage

in your WORKSPACE file:

http_archive(
    name = "murtis_bazel_tools",
    urls = [
      "https://github.com/curtismuntz/bazel_tools/archive/<commit hash>.tar.gz",
    ],
    strip_prefix = "bazel_tools-<commit hash>",
)

Linters

In your WORKSPACE file:

load("@murtis_bazel_tools//tools:deps.bzl", "linter_dependencies")

linter_dependencies()

then in your BUILD files, you can add linter tests via the following:

load("@murtis_bazel_tools//tools:linters.bzl", "cpplint", "pylint")


# place at the end of the file
cpplint()
pylint()

Note to make these work, you'll need config files: CPPLINT.cfg and pycodestyle.cfg present at the root of the workspace. Be sure to also export these in the //BUILD.bazel file:

exports_files([
    "pycodestyle.cfg",
    "CPPLINT.cfg",
])

Google C++ Dependencies

In your WORKSPACE file:

load("@murtis_bazel_tools//tools:deps.bzl", "google_cpp_dependencies")
google_cpp_dependencies()
