Error "Empty source path" when using go toolchain following Getting started with Go CodeLab

[pauldruce]

Hello, I'm hitting an issue where if I follow the Getting started with Go CodeLab I hit the following error:

plz-out/gen/go/build_defs/go.build_defs:497:12: error: Empty source path
        provides['cover_vars'] = cover_vars
    return build_rule(
           ^
        name = name,

Traceback:
plz-out/gen/go/build_defs/go.build_defs:497:12:       return build_rule(

plz-out/gen/go/build_defs/go.build_defs:614:11:       lib = go_library(
                              src/BUILD:  3: 1:   go_binary(

If I switch to using a local installation of Go. This error disappears and everything seems to work correctly.

Some information about my system:

• Please version 17.8.7
• Go plugin version v1.17.3
• Go version 1.22.4 - I've tried it with different version of go in the third_party/go build file.
• OS - macOS 14.5
