Test execution dependency for py_test

Question

I am writing an integration-test (py_test) for a Python library. Now it only makes sense to run this one if a set of other py_test unit-tests have successfully completed.

I could not yet find a way of adding such a testing-dependency in Bazel.

Answer 1

Sorry it is not possible.

An action cannot declare a dependency on a test action.

Maybe you can work around by doing only one test or by adding tags (phase1, phase2):

bazel test --test_tag_filter -phase2 //... && bazel test --test_tag_filter phase2 //...
