  From reading https://bazel.build/versions/master/docs/test-encyclopedia.html https://bazel.build/versions/master/docs/test-encyclopedia.h... , it looks like Bazel's rules are quite strict (not to mention Unix-specific), and requires writing a separate rules file to configure test behavior (e.g. an "external" tag to denote tests that cannot be cached). I anticipate that it would be difficult to retrofit such things onto Go's existing ecosystem in-place (or any language's, for that matter), especially without sacrificing Go's minimalist philosophy (i.e. "this function is a test if its identifier begins with `Test`, end of story"), especially considering Go's documented aversion to config files WRT package management. As an optional external tool it may work quite nicely, however.

    Bazel's rules are extremely strict. For what it's worth when I was at Google all the Go code was built with Bazel. Most of the google engineers don't experience this pain internally I imagine.

  I'm not sure that operates at the same granularity though.
