Unable to fetch 'io_bazel_rules_webtesting' repository due to updated hashes

[qaiffluke]

I'm a newbie at Bazel and everything was working fine until only recently have I come across this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

INFO: Repository 'io_bazel_rules_webtesting' used the following cache hits instead of downloading the corresponding file.
 * Hash 'f1f4d2c2f88d2beac64c82499a1e762b037966675dd892da89c87e39d72b33f6' for https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_webtesting/releases/download/0.3.2/rules_webtesting.tar.gz
If the definition of 'io_bazel_rules_webtesting' was updated, verify that the hashes were also updated.

I have tried the following workaround too:

http_archive(
    name = "io_bazel_rules_webtesting",
    url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_webtesting/archive/ca7b8062d9cf4ef2fde9193c7d37a0764c4262d7.zip",
    strip_prefix = "rules_webtesting-ca7b8062d9cf4ef2fde9193c7d37a0764c4262d7",
    sha256 = "28c73cf9d310fa6dba30e66bdb98071341c99c3feb8662f2d3883a632de97d72",
)

But it gives me the same error. However, if I move it before loading the rules_karma_dependencies, it wants me to include the go_dependencies which I do not need.

All suggestions are welcome and please let me know if this is the right place to report this or someplace else. Thank you!!

In general you should be using the released versions as follows: load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")

http_archive( name = "io_bazel_rules_webtesting", sha256 = "f1f4d2c2f88d2beac64c82499a1e762b037966675dd892da89c87e39d72b33f6", urls = [ "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_webtesting/releases/download/0.3.2/rules_webtesting.tar.gz", ], )

load("@io_bazel_rules_webtesting//web:repositories.bzl", "web_test_repositories")

web_test_repositories()

Otherwise you will need the go dependencies (the released version includes precompiled binaries).

Having the same problem as @qaiffluke. Following @DrMarcII's advice does not resolve this for me. Is there an order in which the http_archive, load, and web_test_repositories() must appear within the WORKSPACE file for this to work properly?

[qaiffluke]

Following the advice @DrMarcII gave, worked for me. But I've been getting a new error instead:

I don't understand what is wrong. I've been following the angular-bazel-example for reference. Can you help me understand the problem here? Thank you!
