How to setup bazel properly? (pattern, cwd, ...)

[matepek]

The bazel build tool is quite popular and worth the attention.

I haven't used it yet so I'm wondering how YOU are using it to make it work.

There are a couple of features which can be improved:

• test discovery and running (related to proper cwd I believe.
• test debugging (same as above)
• test executable change detection (file system watcher)

Please share your thoughts, use cases and solutions.
Thanks,
