[proto-lint] Could not find file in descriptor database - Bazel 7

[joeljeske]

Under bazel 7.1, I am seeing the following error when running the buf proto lint tests. Under Bazel 6.4 the same test targets pass.

Could not find file in descriptor database: bazel-out/k8-fastbuild/bin/my/path/to.proto: No such file or directory

I think its related to https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/21075

I can observe that the args params file that is passed to protoc has the following changes when changing bazel versions:

Bazel 6.4

--plugin=protoc-gen-buf-plugin=../rules_buf_toolchains/protoc-gen-buf-lint
--buf-plugin_opt={"error_format":"","input_config":"buf.yaml"}
--descriptor_set_in
../com_google_protobuf/descriptor_proto-descriptor-set.proto.bin
--buf-plugin_out=.
my/path/to.proto

Bazel 7.1

--plugin=protoc-gen-buf-plugin=../rules_buf_toolchains/protoc-gen-buf-lint
--buf-plugin_opt={"error_format":"","input_config":"buf.yaml"}
--descriptor_set_in
../com_google_protobuf/descriptor_proto-descriptor-set.proto.bin
--buf-plugin_out=.
bazel-out/k8-fastbuild/bin/my/path/to.proto

Note that the last argument has the bazel bin dir prefix whereas it previously did not have this.

I've applied this patch to fix under bazel7
