What did you do?

I have a folder structure like this

servers/
    api/
       main.go
       BUILD.bazel
       web/
            ...misc HTML files

I am trying to read files in the web folder in the resulting go binary. My build file is this:

load("@io_bazel_rules_go//go:def.bzl", "go_binary", "go_library")

go_library(
    name = "api_lib",
    srcs = ["main.go"],
    importpath = "github.com/GRVYDEV/quantic/servers/api",
    visibility = ["//visibility:private"],
    deps = [
        "//internal/server",
        "@com_github_weaviate_weaviate//entities/models",
        "@com_github_weaviate_weaviate_go_client_v4//weaviate",
        "@com_github_weaviate_weaviate_go_client_v4//weaviate/graphql",
    ],
)

go_binary(
    name = "api",
    embed = [":api_lib"],
    data = glob(["web/**"]),
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)

The web folder is not getting put next to the resulting binary. I am doing something wrong here but I am unsure how to properly do this. Thanks in advance for any help.

This should be working. Could you share a self-contained reproducer? Also take a look at @rules_go//go/runfiles, a library that helps you find data files at runtime.
