What did you do?

I am following this https://www.tweag.io/blog/2021-09-08-rules_go-gazelle/ to setup a simple bazel project.

I have a simple repo which has only one file and depends on tidb, which is also build with bazel

The file is like this

package main

import (
	"github.com/pingcap/tidb/pkg/kv"
	"github.com/pingcap/tidb/pkg/tablecodec"
	"github.com/pingcap/tidb/pkg/util/codec"
)

func main() {
	_ = codec.EncodeBytes(nil, tablecodec.EncodeRowKeyWithHandle(1, kv.IntHandle(0)))[:10]
}

When I try to build it, it report that BUILD file not found in directory 'pkg/parser/mysql' , but pkg/parser/mysql is actually another repo inside TiDB and TiDB replace it with github.com/pingcap/tidb/pkg/parser => ./pkg/parser. I guess the reason might be with the replace inside TiDB, but I cannot search any useful thing using google.

I have tried building other files which depends on github.com/docker/go-units, and it works.

bazel build //cmd/kv-regions
