GoogleTest provided with C/C++test CT can be integrated into a Bazel project that uses modules. Follow these steps to integrate it into your project:

1. Extract the contents of the <INSTALL_DIR>/googletest/googletest.zip. package.

   It is recommended to extract the archive to <INSTALL_DIR>/googletest. This guide assumes the GoogleTest sources are located there.

2. In your Bazel project, add the following to the top-level MODULE.bazel file:

   # if another version of googletest is already specified, then that one must be commented out bazel_dep(name = "googletest", version = "1.17.0") local_path_override( module_name = "googletest", path = "<INSTALL_DIR>/googletest", )

Notes:

• This procedure has been tested with Bazel 6, 7, and 8.
• The GoogleTest version provided with C/C++test CT is specified in <INSTALL_DIR>/googletest/MODULE.bazel. If you encounter version mismatch errors, verify that the version specified in MODULE.bazel matches the version used in your project's bazel_dep() statement.
• GoogleTest 1.17.0 does not support Bazel 9+.
