build error libhttp-hjar.jar

[VitaliKaiser]

Hi,

when I run
bazel build greeter_tensorboard

I get the following error:

Target //greeter_tensorboard:greeter_tensorboard failed to build

compiling the current tensorboard source works out of the box.

I dont have to much experience with bazel, so maybe you could give me a hint?

Best,
Vitali

Can you provide the output of bazel version and java -version?

I'm guessing this is an issue with rules_closure, maybe this one: bazelbuild/rules_closure#275

Since TensorBoard builds today, it's possible this is fixed by updating rules_closure. Could you try, in your version of the plugin-example repo's WORKSPACE file, replacing the rules_closure http_archive here

tensorboard-plugin-example/WORKSPACE

with the TensorBoard version here:

Hi,

sorry for the late response!
I tried to to replace "io_bazel_rules_closure" but getting a new error 🙈

To me the suggestion from @nfelt did it. Here's the patch I used:
