v0.11.2 has not been released to Bazel registry

[marekkrk]

v0.11.2 tag exists in repository, but not in Bzlmod registry: https://registry.bazel.build/search?q=graal

Thanks for flagging @marekkrk. The release flow is a little buggy and it failed at 0.11.2. I haven't had time to fix it yet. I'll see if I can get it out, and fix the pipeline in the next release so that releases are no longer delayed.

@sgammon same for 0.12.0 as well... the README mentions it - but it's not on https://registry.bazel.build/modules/rules_graalvm.

I guess that neccessarily means using WORKSPACE.bazel instead of MODULE.bazel, for now? Or is there another way / workaround? @fmeum

How does one actually use rules from Git repos which have not been releases to https://registry.bazel.build? (Both for this, but also generally speaking; I'm curious.) According to https://bazel.build/external/migration something like this in MODULE.bazel might work:

http_file = use_repo_rule("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_file")

http_file(
    name = "rules_graalvm",
    sha256 = "",
    url = "https://github.com/sgammon/rules_graalvm/archive/2071b847ac7c6206c48df400f6e6a10c28e64400.zip",
)

non_module_dependencies = use_extension("//:extensions.bzl", "non_module_dependencies")
use_repo(non_module_dependencies, "rules_graalvm")

gvm = use_extension("@rules_graalvm//:extensions.bzl", "graalvm")
gvm.graalvm(
    name = "graalvm",
    distribution = "ce",  # `oracle`, `ce`, or `community`
    java_version = "23",  # `17`, `20`, `22`, `23`, etc.
    version = "23.0.0",  # pass graalvm or specific jdk version supported by gvm
)
use_repo(gvm, "graalvm")

register_toolchains("@graalvm//:jvm")

register_toolchains("@graalvm//:sdk")

but that's giving me:

ERROR: /home/vorburger/git/github.com/enola-dev/enola/MODULE.bazel:188:9: Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "/home/vorburger/git/github.com/enola-dev/enola/MODULE.bazel", line 188, column 9, in <toplevel>

ERROR: Error computing the main repository mapping: error executing MODULE.bazel file for <root>

With that I'm giving up on this, and just sticking to bazel_dep(name = "rules_graalvm", version = "0.11.1").

[marekkrk]

That's strange, 0.12.0 is mentioned in README, but the corresponding tag does not exist in repository.

[marekkrk]

@vorburger The following works:

WORKSPACE.build
http_archive(
    name = "rules_graalvm",
    sha256 = "3ef2f1583a4849d03209a43b0b507f172299c3045e585b6ffa7144a2bc12ae18",
    strip_prefix = "rules_graalvm-0.11.2",
    urls = [
        "https://github.com/sgammon/rules_graalvm/releases/download/v0.11.2/rules_graalvm-0.11.2.zip",
    ],
)

load("@rules_graalvm//graalvm:repositories.bzl", "graalvm_repository")

graalvm_repository(
    name = "graalvm",
    distribution = "oracle",
    java_version = "21",
    version = "21.0.2",
)

load(
    "@rules_graalvm//graalvm:workspace.bzl",
    "register_graalvm_toolchains",
    "rules_graalvm_repositories",
)

rules_graalvm_repositories()

register_graalvm_toolchains()

BUILD.bazel
load(
    "@rules_graalvm//graalvm:defs.bzl",
    "native_image",
)

[sgammon]

@marekkrk Thanks for helping here and for noticing that missing tag. Releases have fallen a bit behind since the infra to deploy to BCR is currently broken. I'll try to get that fixed in the next few days.

[sgammon]

@vorburger As mentioned in this thread, you should be able to use these rules with a repository override in MODULE.bazel, even if they are not published to BCR. If you have trouble with this, please ping the thread (make sure to mention me) and I would be happy to help diagnose.
