Bazel - ERROR: missing input file '//server:files/src/index.js'

Question

I want to compile some Typescript files and create a Node.js Image from the compiled Javascript files. It works fine when I have only one Typescript file with this BUILD file:

load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//nodejs:image.bzl", "nodejs_image")
load("@npm_bazel_typescript//:index.bzl", "ts_library")

ts_library(
    name = "compile",
    srcs = ["src/index.ts"],
)

filegroup(
    name = "files",
    srcs = ["compile"],
    output_group = "es5_sources",
)

nodejs_image(
    name = "server",
    entry_point = "files",
)

But as soon as I introduce multiple Typescript files like this:

load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//nodejs:image.bzl", "nodejs_image")
load("@npm_bazel_typescript//:index.bzl", "ts_library")

ts_library(
    name = "compile",
    srcs = ["src/index.ts", "src/util.ts"],
)

filegroup(
    name = "files",
    srcs = ["compile"],
    output_group = "es5_sources",
)

nodejs_image(
    name = "server",
    data = ["files"],
    entry_point = "files/src/index.js",
)

Bazel doesn't find the entrypoint file:

ERROR: missing input file '//server:files/src/index.js'
ERROR: /home/flo/Desktop/my-own-minimal-bazel/server/BUILD:15:1: //server:server: missing input file '//server:files/src/index.js'

I can only get the repo to build if I break up the ts_library into two seperate ts_libs, one for the library, and one for the index.ts:

load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//nodejs:image.bzl", "nodejs_image")
load("@npm_bazel_typescript//:index.bzl", "ts_library")

ts_library(
    name = "lib",
    srcs = [
        "util.ts",
    ],
)

ts_library(
    name = "main",
    srcs = [
        "index.ts",
    ],
    deps = [":lib"],
)

filegroup(
    name = "libfiles",
    srcs = ["lib"],
    output_group = "es5_sources",
)

filegroup(
    name = "mainfile",
    srcs = ["main"],
    output_group = "es5_sources",
)

nodejs_image(
    name = "server",
    data = [
        ":libfiles",
        ":mainfile",
    ],
    entry_point = ":mainfile",
)

The above code is in a pull request to your repo. I'm not sure why you are unable to reference a single file of the filegroup!

that works, but the dist folder isn't build by Bazel. I would need to run tsc --build manually. Is it possible to build the Typescript files with Bazel into the dist folder?

mancini0 Over a year ago

ohhh I see, I assumed that bazel was building that folder for you based off the tsconfig. Trying again.

Florian Ludewig Over a year ago

I forgot to put the dist folder into my .gitignore. My fault

Florian Ludewig Over a year ago

It works 🎉 Do you know, why it has this weird behavior?

(Blind fix, I cannot try it now.)

I believe you need to use entry_point = "src/index.js", because files is just the name of the filegroup, it's not part of the paths.

Either that, or entry_point = "server/src/index.js", in case nodejs_image expects a package-root-relative path.

entry_point = "src/index.js" produces: ERROR: missing input file '//server:src/index.js' and entry_point = "server/src/index.js" outputs ERROR: missing input file '//server:server/src/index.js'

If you want to try it, you can checkout this repo: github.com/flolude/minimal-bazel-monorepo

Have you found the issue?

No, i have not.

You should be able to fix this with the $(location LABEL) make variable pointed at the output file by name, src/index.js:

load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//nodejs:image.bzl", "nodejs_image")
load("@npm_bazel_typescript//:index.bzl", "ts_library")

ts_library(
    name = "compile",
    srcs = ["src/index.ts", "src/util.ts"],
)

filegroup(
    name = "files",
    srcs = ["compile"],
    output_group = "es5_sources",
)

nodejs_image(
    name = "server",
    data = ["files"],
    entry_point = "$(location src/index.js)",
)

Note the entry_point is set to "$(location src/index.js)" - this locates the output file by relative path, relative to the BUILD file, that the files filegroup has collected.

When I use the code from your answer, I get this error:

Error: Cannot find module 'example/server/$(location src/index.js)'. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry

Jacob Gillespie Over a year ago

Are you sure you've only modified the entry_point line? I just sent a PR github.com/flolude/minimal-bazel-monorepo/pull/2, that branch builds for me locally with bazel build //...

Florian Ludewig Over a year ago

Yeah, it builds. But it doesn't run
