Rules_docker: Version 0.14.4 have error

[henrywong-seekers]

Hi, I found this error when using version 0.14.4 but fine for version 0.14.3

every rule of type _app_layer implicitly depends upon the target '@io_bazel_rules_docker//container:build_tar', but this target could not be found because of: error loading package '@io_bazel_rules_docker//container': Unable to find package for @pip_deps//:requirements.bzl: The repository '@pip_deps' could not be resolved.

@smukherj1 FYI, I think your update over here resulted in some unexpected breakage with this release:

https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_docker/commit/770e67f629caa8dd28388247064525cb36ae0932#diff-5135d099cb06bd6b67cf9a4f68ea2d85R16

oh heck, I see @smukherj1 already addressed this in the discussion on that PR:

https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_docker/pull/1535#issuecomment-655731965

@whilp I add the lines

load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//repositories:deps.bzl", container_deps = "deps")    

container_deps()

and got another error

no such package '@pip_deps_pypi__python_gflags_3_1_2//': The repository '@pip_deps_pypi__python_gflags_3_1_2' could not be resolved and referenced by '@io_bazel_rules_docker//container:build_tar_lib'

@henrywong-seekers yeah, I get a similar error (for six) — I’ve had container_deps in WORKSPACE. I started to set up a small repo to demonstrate the issue and hope to get back to this tomorrow, something seems not quite right.

[whilp]

For now, in case it’s helpful, this repo (and the GitHub actions status checks in it) show the general issue: https://github.com/whilp/world/pull/50

[smukherj1]

I think you'll also need the following in your WORKSPACE after the container_deps (see here)

load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//repositories:pip_repositories.bzl", "pip_deps")

pip_deps()

I'll update the README

@smukherj1 thanks, it's solves this issue ! 👏
