@Wyverald I think bazelbuild/bazel@37e0d23 caused this failure, we still need --enable_workspace for rules_scala (https://github.com/bazelbuild/intellij/blob/master/WORKSPACE.bzlmod), is there a workaround for this?

[sgowroji]

@mai93 @Wyverald Any update on this issue ?

[Wyverald]

There's no way to turn on WORKSPACE anymore with Bazel@HEAD. @mbland has been doing amazing work to migrate rules_scala to Bzlmod (follow along at bazelbuild/rules_scala#1482), so that might be the only way out if we want the intellij plugin to work with Bazel 9+. Until then, we might need to disable this on the downstream pipeline.

[ujohnny]

@mai93 should you be the assignee here? I guess we can replace rules_scala with @mbland's version from bzlmod-bazel-8 here and get back to downstream. WDYT?

[mai93]

@ujohnny I did not know about this workaround, please feel free to apply it then @sgowroji can reenable these tests.

[sellophane]

I've created a PR with bzlmod compatiblerules_scalaand run tests against last_green. @Wyverald is it enough then to revive downstream checks (assuming it will be merged)? Or are there any additional tests scenarios I might be not aware of?

[ujohnny]

@sgowroji we address the issue in the plugin, could you please enable downstream testing back? Please confirm that downstream testing is fine and then I'll close this issue.
