To see the build failures when using the webpack_bundle rule, do the following:
- Update the
MODULEvalue inmodule_type.bzlto one ofnoneorcommonjs. - Execute
bazel build //:bundle
As far as I can tell, when using commonjs or none, the generated output should be resolvable by Node itself.
The tsc-generated JavaScript in these cases requires based purely on the original import declaration. However,
the LinkablePackageInfo does not take into account module_root, so these import attempts fail to resolve
(e.g. bazel has made JS module foo available under .../package_foo/src/foo, but mapped package_foo to
.../package_foo).
Interestingly, it works fine under module-type umd, as tsc rewrites the import to account for this (e.g.
TS referencing foo/foo becomes JS referencing foo/src/foo).
