Error: Repository '@buildifier _prebuilt' is not defined

[harrysarson]

Hi, when I upgraded this repo from 0.2.1 to 0.4.0 I started getting the following build error:

INFO: Invocation ID: 3ac6f011-c75e-44e9-be22-5c78d2ade8f6
ERROR: /home/dummy/BUILD:27:
12: every rule of type mypy_test implicitly depends upon the target 
'@mypy_integration//:mypy_config', but this target could not be foun
d because of: error loading package '@mypy_integration//': Unable to
 find package for @buildifier_prebuilt//:rules.bzl: The repository '
@buildifier_prebuilt' could not be resolved: Repository '@buildifier
_prebuilt' is not defined.
ERROR: Analysis of target '//dummy:test_mypy' fa
iled; build aborted: Analysis failed

I can fix the errors by patching this repo as follows. Obviously these lines are there for a reason and I am not saying you should comment them out, just hoping this might help pinpoint the error.

I'm affected by the same issue

Me too, any status on this?

Adding the snippet of the buildifier-prebuillt right before the mypy snippet inside the WORKSPACE fixed it for me:

http_archive(
    name = "buildifier_prebuilt",
    sha256 = "b3fd85ae7e45c2f36bce52cfdbdb6c20261761ea5928d1686edc8873b0d0dad0",
    strip_prefix = "buildifier-prebuilt-5.1.0",
    urls = [
        "http://github.com/keith/buildifier-prebuilt/archive/5.1.0.tar.gz",
    ],
)

load("@buildifier_prebuilt//:deps.bzl", "buildifier_prebuilt_deps")

For others, this fix is in on main, and not in a cut release (as of 0.4.0)

[alexeagle]

Oh, sorry about that, I'll cut a release now

[arahatashun]

@dmadisetti @alexeagle Is this issue fixed in the latest release (0.4.0)?
