Access higher level file in Bazel test

Question

I have a folder structure that looks like this:

my/path/to/service
    └── internal
        └── module_name
            ├── BUILD.bazel
            ├── module_logic.go
            └── module_test.go 
    └── endpoint_1
        ├── BUILD.bazel
        ├── logic.go
        ├── logic_test.go
        └── variables_test.go

And a Go BUILD.bazel file set-up as follows:

load("@io_bazel_rules_go//go:def.bzl", "go_library", "go_test")

go_library(
    name = "module_name",
    srcs = ["module_logic.go"],
    importpath = "github.com/path/service/internal/module_name",
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
    deps = [
        "//proto/path:go",
        "@org_golang_google_grpc//codes",
        "@org_golang_google_grpc//status",
    ],
)

go_test(
    name = "module_test",
    srcs = [
        "module_test.go",
        // endpoint_1/variables_test.go
    ],
    embed = [":pagination"],
    deps = [
        "@com_github_stretchr_testify//assert",
        "@com_github_stretchr_testify//require",
    ],
)

Am I able to access the values of variables_test.go within module_test.go?

Answer 1

Typically bazel targets only use files from their own package in srcs, and to get things in other packages, you use targets from that other package in deps.

So probably the right thing to do is make a go_library of what is shared between module_test and variables_test and have both depend on that in their deps, e.g. //my/path/to/service/endpoint_1:variables.
