Build failing due to symlinks #1

Closed iridian-ks closed 6 years ago

iridian-ks commented 6 years ago

Not sure if this is just me but I'm getting an odd error regarding symlinks. I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.

$ bazel build //:root

Looking at the directory where Hugo is being run it looks like everything is a symlink. My BUILD and WORKSPACE files are essentially a copy and paste of what's in your test/basic directory. Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks!

You can workaround this by using --spawn_strategy=standalone. Obviously this is not good enough if this is embedded in a larger project. The error is due to zip. I'd personally replace it w/ tar.
