Intellij: External Dependencies link to wrong path CLion

[brandonpollack23]

If i go to definition in CLion it will jump to a cache directory ala

bazel_$USERNAME/HASH/execroot/__main__/external/ ...

instead of my actual dependency (a local_repository located in my workspace).

This is generally not the case, although it is possible that local_repository is broken in CLion - could you provide a minimum reproducable example?

[brandonpollack23]

Sure, forgive the clearly still WIP:

git clone https://github.com/brandonpollack23/grok3dtests --recursive

cd grok3dtests

import into CLion

before you build, none of the third_party/grok3d dependencies are even visible to the project so it's red all over

bazel build :grokgame

all the red is gone, but if you jump to definition (Go to GRK_Engine from movebackandforthtests.cpp)

it'll not open the third_party repo.

[RNabel]

Just as a sanity check: did you click the blaze 'B' button on the top right of the CLion window to sync the project?

[brandonpollack23]

Sure did haha I'm used to this flow from the similar internal Google tool.

I should note that the workspace includes these as external dependencies, they are not compiled as packages
