native_binary() and native_test() rule implementations.

These rules let you wrap a pre-built binary or script in a conventional binary and test rule respectively. They fulfill the same goal as sh_binary and sh_test do, but they run the wrapped binary directly, instead of through Bash, so they don't depend on Bash and work with --shell_executable="".

native_binary

load("@bazel_skylib//rules:native_binary.bzl", "native_binary")

native_binary(<a href="#native_binary-name">name</a>, <a href="#native_binary-src">src</a>, <a href="#native_binary-data">data</a>, <a href="#native_binary-out">out</a>, <a href="#native_binary-env">env</a>)

Wraps a pre-built binary or script with a binary rule.

You can “bazel run” this rule like any other binary rule, and use it as a tool in genrule.tools for example. You can also augment the binary with runfiles.

ATTRIBUTES

Name	Description	Type	Mandatory	Default
name	A unique name for this target.	Name	required
src	path of the pre-built executable	Label	required
data	data dependencies. See https://bazel.build/reference/be/common-definitions#typical.data	List of labels	optional	[]
out	An output name for the copy of the binary. Defaults to name.exe. (We add .exe to the name by default because it's required on Windows and tolerated on other platforms.)	String	optional	""
env	Environment variables to set when running the binary.	Dictionary: String -> String	optional	{}

native_test

load("@bazel_skylib//rules:native_binary.bzl", "native_test")

native_test(<a href="#native_test-name">name</a>, <a href="#native_test-src">src</a>, <a href="#native_test-data">data</a>, <a href="#native_test-out">out</a>, <a href="#native_test-env">env</a>)

Wraps a pre-built binary or script with a test rule.

You can “bazel test” this rule like any other test rule. You can also augment the binary with runfiles.
