Test are broken at head #896
Description
A few tests are broken at head because of a rules_python fix vs. recent Bazel changes.
The root cause might be https://buildkite.com/bazel/rules-pkg/builds/3359
The error indicates this is somewhere within the external repo tests, which build a WORKSPACE dynamically and test that we work when uses as a repo, rather than just testing behavior standalone.
(21:33:14) ERROR: no such package '@@[unknown repo 'mappings_test_external_repo' requested from @@]//pkg': The repository '@@[unknown repo 'mappings_test_external_repo' requested from @@]' could not be resolved: No repository visible as '@mappings_test_external_repo' from main repository. Was the repository introduced in WORKSPACE? The WORKSPACE file is disabled by default in Bazel 8 (late 2024) and will be removed in Bazel 9 (late 2025), please migrate to Bzlmod. See https://bazel.build/external/migration.
Thanks to anyone who wants to jump on this and fix it. Making them pass is probalby easy. Deciding if we should test this or just assume we work as a repository is a harder decision.
