The fix seems sensible to me though, although like you I'd like to know why its necessary! |
Yeah, totally 😅 From what I gathered, there's a bunch of issues with the But alas, I think this is as good as it gets! Maybe when I learn more about how Bazel & some of the rules work I'll have an aha! moment 😄 |
