[BUG]: Bzlmod: ignore_directories not defined in REPO.bazel, breaks Bazel build #128
Description
Description
I'm trying to use protovalidate-cc as a dependency in a Bazel project with bzlmod (MODULE.bazel).
I followed the documentation and added:
bazel_dep(name = "protovalidate-cc", version = "1.0.0-rc.6")When building, I encounter an error related to ignore_directories not being defined in REPO.bazel.
Steps to Reproduce
- Add the following to
MODULE.bazel:bazel_dep(name = "protovalidate-cc", version = "1.0.0-rc.6")
- Reference the C++ validator in a Bazel rule:
deps = ["@protovalidate-cc//buf/validate:validator"]
- Run
bazel build //...
Expected Behavior
Bazel should fetch and build protovalidate-cc successfully, allowing use of the validator target in C++ rules.
Actual Behavior
Bazel fails with the following error:
ERROR: /home/codespace/.cache/bazel/_bazel_codespace/.../external/protovalidate-cc~/REPO.bazel:15:1: name 'ignore_directories' is not defined
ERROR: error loading package '@@protovalidate-cc~//buf/validate': bad REPO.bazel file
ERROR: /workspaces/xds/udpa/annotations/BUILD:5:18: error loading package '@@protovalidate-cc~//buf/validate': bad REPO.bazel file and referenced by '//udpa/annotations:pkg_cc_proto'
ERROR: Analysis of target '//udpa/annotations:pkg_cc_proto' failed; build aborted: Analysis failed
Screenshots/Logs
See error log above.
Environment
- Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (Codespaces)
- Version: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
- Compiler/Toolchain: Bazel (bzlmod)
- Protobuf Compiler & Version: protoc 3.17.3
- Protovalidate Version: 1.0.0-rc.6
Possible Solution
It seems the macro ignore_directories is referenced in REPO.bazel but not defined, causing the build to fail. Is there a workaround or a fix for this issue? Is protovalidate-cc fully compatible with bzlmod, or is there a recommended way to use it with Bazel modules?
Additional Context
This issue blocks usage of protovalidate-cc with bzlmod. The error occurs even when following the official documentation for bzlmod integration.
