Can't build containers on macOS after upgrade to 0.23.0

[eikemeier]

🐞 bug report

Affected Rule

The issue is caused by the rule: java_image

Is this a regression?

Yes, the previous version in which this bug was not present was: 0.22.0

Description

When building a simple Java Docker image on macOS, the build fails with “No matching toolchains found”. It works on Linux, since the target and host platforms are identical.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

See https://github.com/eikemeier/java-container

🔥 Exception or Error

bazel build //src/main/java/com/example/hello_world:hello_world_image
[...]
ERROR: [...]/java-container/src/main/java/com/example/hello_world/BUILD:16:11: While resolving toolchains for target //src/main/java/com/example/hello_world:hello_world_image.binary: No matching toolchains found for types @bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain_type. [...]

Same for go_image; 0.22.0 works, 0.23.0 doesn't. According to git bisect, seems to be introduced in:
Transition container image target platform (#1963) 76c708f

Same for py3_image, 0.22.0 works and 0.23.0 doesn't. Hopefully this can be fixed soon :)

Is anyone looking into this issue? Any workaround other than going back to 0.22?

We've had to prepare a cross-compiling C toolchain to use on macOS in order to make this work. Ultimately, we picked one based on musl, since that's most likely to work on most linux variants, but we've also had to patch rules_go to force go_binary to statically link when building for a docker image. Getting this working properly has been a pretty significant piece of work.

If anyone is following in our footsteps, we started off from musl-cross-make

I don't think this is closable, I'm still locked to 0.22 waiting on a fix for this.

As before, this is still an unaddressed issue and should not be closed.
