Description
Bazel version: 8.1.1
rules_kotlin
version: 2.1.3
I found that Kotlin compilation jobs specifically on Windows would fail with an Rlocation error complaining that the jars required to run the Kotlin compiler weren't in the manifest:
---8<---8<--- Start of log, file at C:/tmp/bazel-workers/worker-3-KotlinCompile.log ---8<---8<---
LAUNCHER ERROR: Rlocation failed on _main/external/rules_kotlin++rules_kotlin_extensions+com_github_jetbrains_kotlin_git/lib/annotations-13.0.jar, path doesn't exist in MANIFEST file
---8<---8<--- End of log ---8<---8<---
Noting that this began _main/external
, and the actual manifest written to disk to run build.exe
did contain annotations-13.0.jar
but didn't have that _main/external
prefix, I tried adding build:windows --legacy_external_runfiles
to my bazelrc and the build now succeeds.
Note that our repository separator has been set to +
rather than ~
in the example above; this appears consistently in the requested path and the manifest, so does not appear related to this issue.
Possibly relevant: my build already has build:windows --enable_runfiles
for unrelated reasons.
