> A generator to generate C++ project using bazel.

Installation

> Ensure bazel exists in your system path. bazelisk is recommended since it also manages bazel versions.

First, install Yeoman and generator-bazel-cpp using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

``bash
npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-bazel-cpp
`

Then generate your new project:

`bash
yo bazel-cpp
`

Development

This project uses bazel-compilation-database to generate compile_commands.json. vscode-clangd is recommended for code completion and navigation.

!edit

Once project structure has been changed, run ./gencomp.sh and restart clangd server in VSCode.

Debug

VSCode Task Shell Input and CodeLLDB extensions are required to debug.

$3

launch.json has been configured to debug unit tests. To start debugging, just set breaking points and focus on your test file, click Run Debug Test`.

!debug launch

$3

VSCode C++ TestMate is a great tool to run and debug C++ unit tests (including Catch2, GoogleTest).

This project has been configured to adapt the extension. To start running or debugging unit tests, build tests (with VSCode build task or in the terminal) first and then test suites will be shown in the test explorer.

!run build

!testmate

Happy debugging!

!debug testmate
