[Bug]: Transitive dependencies are not present in js_image_layer's node_modules

[flolu]

What happened?

I'm using js_image_layer to build Docker images. But currently, transitive dependencies of node_modules are not passed on to it.

Version

Development (host) and target OS/architectures: Linux (Fedora)

Output of bazel --version:

Bazelisk version: v1.13.2
Build label: 7.0.0-pre.20221102.3
Build target: bazel-out/k8-opt/bin/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/bazel/BazelServer_deploy.jar
Build time: Fri Nov 11 18:06:13 2022 (1668189973)
Build timestamp: 1668189973
Build timestamp as int: 1668189973

Version of the Aspect rules, or other relevant rules from your
WORKSPACE or MODULE.bazel file:

• rules_js-1.8.0
• rules_ts-1.0.2
• rules_swc-0.19.3
• rules_pkg-0.8.0
• rules_docker-0.25.0

How to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/flolu/rules-ts-transitive-deps
cd rules-ts-transitive-deps
pnpm i
bazelisk run //:image && docker run --rm -it bazel:image

@thesayyn do you know how to prevent having to specify transitive dpendencies?

[thesayyn]

they should be included automatically. Is this happening with all packages or single one?

[flolu]

@thesayyn it's happening with all packages. you can check the repro: https://github.com/flolu/rules-ts-transitive-deps

I am also seeing this issue, but only with certain transitive deps. Bazel run'ing the binary itself works fine; the problem is introduced somehow by the js_image packaging. Will reply when/if I gather some more info.

[flolu]

@thesayyn any updates?

[matthewjh]

Update: my issue turned out to be caused by something else. There was some difference between my local pnpm-installed node_modules and the rules_js-managed ones (perhaps because I didn't set hoist=false in my .npmrc?) that generated a difference in runtime module resolution between my local bazel run and running the built binary inside the docker image. Modules should not be resolved out of the runfiles, anyway, but that is slightly broken due to #656 and #362.

However, I have separately noticed ts_project deps not being propagated in an all or nothing way in sandboxed build actions, so I still think this issue is valid.

[flolu]

@thesayyn do you think rules_ts#280 is the solution to this issue?

[flolu]

@mvukov I've tried to patch my repro from this issue with the fix from your pull request on this branch.

But the issue still persists. Did I mess up the patching?

[thesayyn]

However, I have separately noticed ts_project deps not being propagated in an all or nothing way in sandboxed build actions, so I still think this issue is valid.

i can confirm that the cause of this issue is indeed ts_project.

@flolu yes that's the solution to this particular problem.

for what is worth, you may workaround this problem by listing your deps in npm_package. until

@thesayyn the patch you provided doesn't seem to work for me:

ERROR: /home/flolu/Desktop/rules-ts-transitive-deps/BUILD.bazel:86:16: in tars attribute of container_layer_ rule //:node_modules_layer: '//:node_modules_tar' does not produce any container_layer_ tars files (expected .tar, .tar.xz, .tar.gz or .tgz). Since this rule was created by the macro 'container_layer', the error might have been caused by the macro implementation

[thesayyn]

the patch you provided doesn't seem to work for me:

sorry. updated it.

[flolu]

@thesayyn thanks, now the workaround works.

[flolu]

@thesayyn do you have any idea why this branch doesn't work even though I've patched ts_project?

Marking this one as a dup of aspect-build/rules_ts#268. Closing this to keep the discussion in a single place Similar pattern to here aspect-build/rules_jest#72 with a ts_project being depended on via a linked npm_package. In this case the targets are:

ts_project(
    name = "lib2_project",
    srcs = ["index.ts"],
    composite = True,
    declaration = True,
    transpiler = partial.make(
        swc,
        swcrc = "//:swcrc",
    ),
    tsconfig = "//:tsconfig",
    deps = ["//:node_modules/@faker-js/faker"],
)

npm_package(
    name = "lib2",
    srcs = [":lib2_project"],
    package = "@org/lib2",
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)
