Dependencies

Install dependencies
sudo apt install clang llvm lcov default-jdk zip
Install Bazelisk
sudo curl -L https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk/releases/latest/download/bazelisk-linux-amd64 -o /usr/local/bin/bazel
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/bazel

Ubuntu versions >=24.04 also require libclang-rt-dev:

Install libclang-rt-dev
sudo apt install libclang-rt-dev

Version requirements

  • Bazel >= 5.3.2 on Linux
  • Java JDK >= 8 (1.8) required for Bazel's coverage feature
  • LLVM >= 12
info

Running CI Fuzz with LLVM versions <= 16 on Linux can cause fuzzing runs to randomly crash. Have a look at the troubleshooting guide for instructions to fix this issue.

Initialize your project

Initialize CI Fuzz in the root directory of your Bazel project with the following command:

cifuzz init

CI Fuzz requires two Bazel dependencies to work correctly. Add the following modules to your MODULE.bazel file:

MODULE.bazel
bazel_dep(name = "rules_fuzzing", version = "0.5.2")
git_override(
module_name = "rules_fuzzing",
remote = "https://github.com/CodeIntelligenceTesting/rules_fuzzing.git",
commit = "d17698278270c350ee82b05224a2fafb3da7f756",
)

bazel_dep(name = "cifuzz", dev_dependency = True)
git_override(
module_name = "cifuzz",
remote = "https://github.com/CodeIntelligenceTesting/cifuzz-bazel.git",
commit = "db84a1ff9cf2b25c185e9c32717e14e1e55105bd",
)

If you are using a WORKSPACE file, add the following dependencies:

WORKSPACE

name = "rules_python",
