# Flaky Tests: Support for Bazel build event protocol

> Trunk Flaky Tests now supports uploading test results by parsing Bazel Build Event Protocol (BEP) files.

Trunk Flaky Tests now supports uploading test results by parsing Bazel Build Event Protocol (BEP)
files. Supporting BEP files gives Trunk more context when parsing Bazel test results for more
accurate detection results. Parsing BEP files lets Trunk accurately track tests run by understanding
which targets were actually built and which were cached and skipped. In the future, this will also
allow Trunk to work better with Bazel's
[built-in retries](https://bazel.build/reference/command-line-reference#flag--flaky_test_attempts).

Trunk expects a JSON serialization of the [build event protocol](https://bazel.build/remote/bep)
which you can export by running the `bazel test` command with the options
`--nobuild_event_json_file_path_conversion` and `--build_event_json_file=build_events.json`.

You can switch to uploading BEP files by running the upload command with the
`--bazel-bep-path build_events.json` option.

```
./trunk flakytests upload --bazel-bep-path build_events.json \
--org-url-slug <TRUNK_ORG_SLUG> \
--token $TRUNK_TOKEN
```

You can learn more about Bazel in the
[docs](https://docs.trunk.io/flaky-tests/get-started/frameworks/bazel) or chat with us
