k8s_deploy doesn't template manifests when used with cc_image.

[lbhdc]

Description of the problem / feature request:

I am trying to deploy a c++ project with rules_gitops, but the bazel labels aren't rendering in the manifests.

Feature requests: what underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?

Support cc_images in manifests

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

I was able to modify the hello world example to reproduce the problem.

Test cc app

// main.cc contents
#include <iostream>

int main() {
  std::cout << "it works\n";
}

Add cc binary and image to the BUILD file in hello world

Add the cc base image that cc_image depends on to the example workspace

What operating system are you running Bazel on?

> uname -sr
Linux 6.1.7-100.fc36.x86_64

What's the output of bazel info release?

I am using basilisk, so it is picking up the version set in the .bazelversion from rules_gitopts. My project is on 6.0.0, and experiences the same problem as the above.

release 5.3.1

If bazel info release returns "development version" or "(@non-git)", tell us how you built Bazel.

Replace this line with your answer.

Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?

No, I have searched quite abit, but its kind of vague problem (failed templating) that is difficult to search for.

I browsed and searched the issue tracker for relavent issues but didn't see anything related.

I have tried reading through relevant portions of the rules, but did not see anything that jumped out at me.

I searched github for com_adobe_rules_gitops cc_image filename:BUILD to try to locate places where people have used cc_images with gitops, but github yields no results. (same for BUILD.bazel).

Any other information, logs, or outputs that you want to share?

Thanks for taking a look 😁

Hi,

I have the same issue using Bazel 6.0.0. You have to stay on Bazel 5.4.0 at the moment if you want to use this.

[lbhdc]

@eko I was able to get this working in 6.0.0, but its fragile.

The label of the image must be image and images will resolve if the start with @.

So something like this

image: "@//foo/bar:image"

In places where I was building multiple images in a single BUILD file, I had to break them up to accommodate this restriction.
