'local_repository' undefined?

[Filip Miletic]

Hi, folks!

Am I doing something wrong here?  From reading http://bazel.io/docs/be/workspace.html I understood that I could use e.g. the rule local_repository in my WORKSPACE file.

But, if I add local_repository rule to WORKSPACE file, bazel complains that name 'local_repository' is not defined.  I tried (just for kicks), 'new_local_repository' and got the same error. It seems as if my Bazel doesn't know about these two targets.  

Is there an include I'm missing?

Hi Filip,

The local_repository rule seems to be working for me. Can you share your workspace and build files, or provide steps to reproduce the problem?

Well I be the monkey's uncle!

Trying it now, and it works just fine.

I'm glad too, but also confused.  If I find time to do so, I'll dig a bit to check why I was seeing this.  I'll report back if I find anything conclusive.

The only lead I have so far is that I switched from release-0.1.2 to master when I first saw the message.  The confusing bit was that I saw the message post-switch too, until I gave up for the night and wrote to bazel-discuss.  Maybe this had to do with the bazel daemon that was still running, but I suspect that bazel should know when to restart the daemon, so again, confused.

Thanks, let us know.

Correct, the bazel server should restart if the version changes or if startup flags change.
