no such target '@@com_github_bazelbuild_buildtools//buildifier:runner.bat.template' #1259
Description
In #1011 support for windows was added. It added the new attribute label _windows_runner as follows:
"_runner": attr.label(
default = "//buildifier:runner.bash.template",
allow_single_file = True,
),
"_windows_runner": attr.label(
default = "@com_github_bazelbuild_buildtools//buildifier:runner.bat.template",
allow_single_file = True,
),
Notice how the default key for the _windows_runner attribute, references runner.bat.template by the external dependency @com_github_bazelbuild_buildtools but the other _runner refers to it with an absolute path.
default = "//buildifier:runner.bash.template",
vs
default = "@com_github_bazelbuild_buildtools//buildifier:runner.bat.template",
I use this project to configure a buildifier target in my own Bazel project:
load("@bazel_buildtools//buildifier:def.bzl", "buildifier")
buildifier(
name = "buildifier",
)
But when I upgraded to the latest version, v7.1.0, the target now fails with:
ERROR: /home/steve-261370/.cache/bazel/_bazel_steve-261370/2914a5da309afa1aa83708b7e78fb71f/external/com_github_bazelbuild_buildtools/buildifier/BUILD.bazel: no such target '@@com_github_bazelbuild_buildtools//buildifier:runner.bat.template': target 'runner.bat.template' not declared in package 'buildifier' defined by /home/steve-261370/.cache/bazel/_bazel_steve-261370/2914a5da309afa1aa83708b7e78fb71f/external/com_github_bazelbuild_buildtools/buildifier/BUILD.bazel (did you mean runner.bash.template?)

I ended up fixing this by replacing the line:
default = "@com_github_bazelbuild_buildtools//buildifier:runner.bat.template",
with
default = "//buildifier:runner.bat.template",
