Setup

• Ensure gazelle proto mode is file mode
• Create two protos file in the workspace, in this case: proto/example/example.proto (note the same name as the package) and proto/example/other.proto

One important note: and probably related, is that the target go_package does not match the proto package that is inferred. So it attempts to generate an empty package for the example go_proto_library, which seems to overwrite the rule generated before with the appropriate imports.

Here are the files:
example.proto

syntax = "proto3";

package bazelsandbox.proto.example.example;

option go_package = "github.com/davidbyttow/bazel-sandbox/gen/proto/example/example";

import "google/type/date.proto";

message Example {
  google.type.Date date = 1;
}

other.proto

syntax = "proto3";

package bazelsandbox.proto.example.other;

option go_package = "github.com/davidbyttow/bazel-sandbox/gen/proto/example/other";

import "google/type/date.proto";

message Other {
  google.type.Date date = 1;
}

Problem

After running Gazelle, the example_go_proto does not get its dependencies, unlike other_go_proto.

load("@io_bazel_rules_go//proto:def.bzl", "go_proto_library")
load("@rules_proto//proto:defs.bzl", "proto_library")

proto_library(
    name = "example_proto",
    srcs = ["example.proto"],
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
    deps = ["@com_google_googleapis//google/type:date_proto"],
)

proto_library(
    name = "other_proto",
    srcs = ["other.proto"],
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
    deps = ["@com_google_googleapis//google/type:date_proto"],
)

go_proto_library(
    name = "example_go_proto",
    importpath = "github.com/davidbyttow/bazel-sandbox/gen/proto/example/example",
    proto = ":example_proto",
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],

    # PROBLEM: missing deps
)

go_proto_library(
    name = "other_go_proto",
    importpath = "github.com/davidbyttow/bazel-sandbox/gen/proto/example/other",
    proto = ":other_proto",
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
    deps = ["@com_google_googleapis//google/type:date_go_proto"], # OK
)

What am I missing here? :)

Well, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate fix, but seems to work. #1927
