Unable to find toolchains in a newly defined module

[Connor Latham]

Hey yall, trying to get some bazel rules spun up for Apple's new config language pkl, and I'm having quite a hard time. Anyone mind taking a look? I wrote up my issue on stack exchange https://stackoverflow.com/q/78113876/14227639.

Appreciate any and all feedback.

I think you need to call `pkl.toolchain(...)` before `use_repo(pkl, "pkl")` otherwise the latter will just generate an empty repository.

Also it looks like you are missing a `platform_name` attribute definition in your `toolchain` tag definition, so your `toolchains()` function is going to error at runtime if you call it as-is. You could try using module_ctx.os values to determine this automatically though.

Hope this helps

FWIW, the order of `use_repo` directives relative to other directives in MODULE.bazel files is not meaningful at all. You can put it anywhere and the result would be the same. (The module extension is only evaluated once with _all_ tags anyway.)
