Dagger is not available in the Bazel Central Registry

[jack-bradshaw]

Dagger cannot be sourced from the Bazel Central Repo based on this search:

https://registry.bazel.build/search?q=dagger

Unless it's hiding under another name, it must not be present in the central repo.

For anyone else having this issue, you can work around by using the old http_archive approach in your MODULE.bazel file like so:

http_archive = use_repo_rule("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
http_archive(
    name = "dagger",
    strip_prefix = "dagger-dagger-2.57",
    urls = ["https://github.com/google/dagger/archive/dagger-2.57.zip"],
)

For anyone who uses the above approach, if you're vendoring your dependencies in a git repo, you'll need to remove the .gitignore file from the dagger repo as it removes the dagger repo's root BUILD file, which causes failures during build stage. You can do that by adding this argument to http_archive:

patch_cmds = ["rm .gitignore"]

@jack-bradshaw do you mind sharing how you wired up kotlin rules alongside the dagger http_archive rules in MODULE.bazel? I'm having a bit of an issue with mixing up bazel_dep() for kotlin and using dagger via http_archive (the workspace way)

@everag I have Dagger and Kotlin in my monorepo working without problems, do any of these files help?

MODULE.bzl
root BUILD
other BUILD
