If you are new to Bazel and it was not clear how to run the test cases, it is `bazel test //functions:functions_test`. More details here https://bazel.build/start/cpp#introduction

Thanks for pointing that out.

Just for feedback purposes, did you find it useful to run the specific test case?

em, that command runs both test cases.

I should have written "specific test target".

I have deliberately listed the bulk test commands, since I thought that they will be more approachable at this point. What I'm asking is whether you find running a specific test useful (i.e. is it something I should talk about?).

No, I just wanted to run the tests and did not know how to.You wrote "bazel test //...", which I understood as either "bazel test //helloworld", or "bazel test //functions". But both were wrong, so I had to read the Bazel docs to understand how to run the tests.

Ah. Now I get the confusion.

No, that's the actual command :-)

While we're at it. Great setup you created! It was very easy to get up and running. I saw you published the 2nd lesson. Looking forward to working on it!

Yes, silly me :)

Curious why did you pick Bazel build here?

Mainly because Bazel is simple enough that it doesn't require much explanation.
