How should I run bazel tests ? about abseil-py HOT 10 CLOSED

Hi,

The package published on PyPI doesn't include tests nor bazel BUILD files. If you are interested in running tests, you can clone the repo then run bazel:

git clone [email protected]:abseil/abseil-py.git
cd abseil-py
bazel test absl/...

I'll update the README.md files so it's more clear.

from abseil-py.

Any reason why this is excluded from pypi release ?

from abseil-py.

We don't want to pollute the PyPI library with the tests, since they are not part of the API we provide. Plus, the tests require bazel, which isn't a thing you would run inside a pip installed directory.

from abseil-py.

Fair enough, but distributions integrating absl could be interested in running the testsuite (my case)

from abseil-py.

Right now our tests aren't structured to be run without bazel, and we also don't want to add bazel as an extra dependency for things related to the PyPI distribution.

I think it's technically possible to run at least some of the tests without bazel, and provide them as part of PyPI test suites. But we are not there yet.

from abseil-py.

It's fine to run them through bazel, this is only required to build the original package and provide a proof that the code it's working fine. It won't be required when installing the binary package (exactly the same as Sphinx and various "heavy" documentation system).
Anyway, could you create a GitHub tag matching pypi releases ? That would be a perfect workaround for people looking for source code along the matching test suite. Thanks

git-tags are indeed useful.

We'd like to create tags named like pypi-v0.1.10, pypi-v0.1.11. Would this work for you?

We want to emphasize that these are for mapping PyPI releases only, and de-emphasize the concept of versions for users who directly depend on source code. Hence the prefix pypi-.

from abseil-py.

A git-tag is created for the latest PyPI release. Future releases will also include such tags.

rpm packaging is done within a VM without internet access.

When I try testing with bazel, it attempts to fetch lots of packages from the internet.

Is there any way to use bazel without internet ? Pre-fetching all of the dependencies and including them in the rpm SOURCES?
