Working on moving my code to bzlmod from "straight" bazel, I ran into a problem where android_sdk_repository is no longer supported.
Trying to find the equivalent I found the rules_android module in the central repo.
The documentation on the github repo for rules_android suggested the correct thing to do was:
# WORKSPACE.bzlmod
load("@rules_android//rules:rules.bzl", "android_sdk_repository")
android_sdk_repository(
name = "androidsdk",
)
and
# MODULE.bazel
bazel_dep(name = "rules_java", version = "7.4.0")
bazel_dep(name = "bazel_skylib", version = "1.3.0")
bazel_dep(
name = "rules_android",
version = "0.2.0",
)
# Or a later commit
RULES_ANDROID_COMMIT = "0bf3093bd011acd35de3c479c8990dd630d552aa"
git_override(
module_name = "rules_android",
remote = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_android",
commit = RULES_ANDROID_COMMIT,
)
register_toolchains(
"@rules_android//toolchains/android:android_default_toolchain",
"@rules_android//toolchains/android_sdk:android_sdk_tools",
)
and finally using:
load("@rules_android//rules:rules.bzl", "android_binary", "android_library")
android_binary(
...
)
android_library(
...
)
To use the rules.
The given commit didn't work due to a naming mismatch apparently fixed a few months ago so grabbing
the hash of the latest commit I got the MODULE.bazel entry I have in this repo.
This allows bazel sync to run, but the simple command:
bazel build java/com/bdl/demo/rules_android:all
gives the error:
ERROR: Skipping 'java/com/bdl/demo/rules_android:all': while parsing 'java/com/bdl/demo/rules_android:all': error loading package 'java/com/bdl/demo/r
ules_android': Unable to find package for @@rules_android//rules:rules.bzl: The repository '@@rules_android' could not be resolved: Repository '@@rule
s_android' is not defined.
ERROR: while parsing 'java/com/bdl/demo/rules_android:all': error loading package 'java/com/bdl/demo/rules_android': Unable to find package for @@rule
s_android//rules:rules.bzl: The repository '@@rules_android' could not be resolved: Repository '@@rules_android' is not defined.
So bazel sync works, but the repo doesn't seem to exist:
bazel query @rules_java//...
Gives a long list of targets, but
bazel query @rules_android//...
Gives:
ERROR: no such package '@@rules_android//': The repository '@@rules_android' could not be resolved: Repository '@@rules_android' is not defined
