Bazel build: No repository visible as '@rules_go'

[lschlacher]

The following bazel build error was received when trying to update from github.com/open-policy-agent/opa v0.70.0 to github.com/open-policy-agent/opa v1.8.0. It targets a Go Monorepo with Bazel + Gazelle + rules_go (Bzlmod enabled).

@lschlacher any chance you've found a solution for this? I've run into the same problem.

@rossdylan Sadly, I haven’t found a solution yet, so I’ve downgraded back to v1.7.1 for the time being.

Could you try adding an override with build_file_generation = "clean" (example: https://github.com/bazel-contrib/bazel-gazelle/blob/b13c1573c378bb3dd9b9de1397db89d0392f8e72/tests/bcr/go_mod/MODULE.bazel#L162)?

[rossdylan]

I found a pretty hacky work around which is to depend on the bazel module from github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx instead of the go module. It required some extra patches due to problems in a few build files but it was building.
I'll give the build_file_generation = "clean" option a go as well

[rossdylan]

@fmeum yep that fixed it

[fmeum]

If you have the time, could you add this module to https://github.com/bazel-contrib/bazel-gazelle/blob/b13c1573c378bb3dd9b9de1397db89d0392f8e72/internal/bzlmod/default_gazelle_overrides.bzl#L17 with mode clean?

[lschlacher]

@fmeum Fixed it for me too, thank you so much. I will add it to the suggested module as soon as I can.
For all others having this issue: To make it build you will also need bazel_dep(name = "gazelle", version = "0.43.0") with version >= "0.43.0"
