Quick Start - Building and Testing#

Building the Module#

To build the entire module:

bazel build //src/...

Running Tests#

To run all tests:

bazel test //...

To run only unit tests:

bazel test //src/...

To run component or feature integration tests:

bazel test //tests/...

Module Configuration Details#

The project_config.bzl file at the root of the module defines metadata used by Bazel macros. This file controls build behavior and project-specific settings.

Configuration Example#

PROJECT_CONFIG = {
    "asil_level": "QM",
    "source_code": ["cpp", "rust"]
}

Configuration Effects#

The configuration enables conditional build behavior:

Language-specific tools: For C++ code, tools like clang-tidy are used; for Rust code, clippy is used
Safety level: The ASIL level affects safety-related build settings and validation
Source code languages: The build system optimizes for the configured languages
