Upgrade to Bazel for CLion plugin 2024.03.12.0.1 shows up unrelated errors

[tusharg1993]

Description of the bug:

Hello. I have been using Bazel for CLion plugin for a while. Recently, I started noticing problems with code errors which on further investigation look like an issue with the plugin. On searching the offending version, I was able to isolate 2024.02.27.0.1-api-version-233 as the working version. The subsequent version i.e. 2024.03.12.0.1-api-version-233 has problems.

Which category does this issue belong to?

CLion

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

I do not have a great way to provide a reproducible example as this is something I am using for work related projects. What I did find was that it was coming from std::stringstream libraries and not able to use the ios_base correctly inside c++.

This is the error I saw: Implicit instantiation of undefined template 'std::basic_streambuf<char>'

Which Intellij IDE are you using? Please provide the specific version.

CLion 2023.3.4

What programming languages and tools are you using? Please provide specific versions.

C++

What Bazel plugin version are you using?

2024.03.12.0.1-api-version-233

Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?

Any other information, logs, or outputs that you want to share?

Hi @tusharg1993, Could you please provide complete error logs and steps used to reproduce the above. Thanks!

Apologies for delay in response. I found that my issue is somewhat related to #6384.

I tried several things to resolve the issue. I tried upgrading to CLion 2024.1.3 and Bazel plugin to 2024.05.21.0.1-api-version-241 to try fixing the issue. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Downgrading the plugin to 2024.02.27.0.1-api-version-241 seems to fix the problems.

On looking through the comments in the linked issue, I checked the Compiler Info between the two plugin versions. The comparison shows the obvious difference of the additional -ibazel flag in in the newer plugin (i.e. 2024.05.21.0.1-api-version-241).

I also added the bazel.cpp.sync.workspace.collect.include.prefix.hints.disabled=true to idea.properties to see if it works but no luck. Should I try with the other suggested flag (bazel.sync.resolve.virtual.includes=false) to see if it helps me?

---

Not sure if this is a relevant information. For the file where I am seeing the problems, the number of ibazel flags is 206. I am not sure how to look further in the logs but let me know if there are any.

I tried tried figuring this out further. With the latest plugin, the suggested flag in comment i.e. bazel.sync.resolve.virtual.includes=false doesn't help. The compiler info shows up with -ibazel flags.

On checking out the commit referenced in the comment linked above, I stumbled into bazel.sync.collect.virtual.includes.hints=false. Setting this makes the error go away with latest plugin (2024.05.21.0.1-api-version-241). The compiler info doesn't show up the -ibazel flags too.

@tpasternak hope this is helpful information.

EDIT. Just for the full information. I did run into the error with rules_java dependency but that was easily fixed with following suggestion

http_archive(
    name = "rules_java",
    sha256 = "f8ae9ed3887df02f40de9f4f7ac3873e6dd7a471f9cddf63952538b94b59aeb3",
    urls = [
        "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_java/releases/download/7.6.1/rules_java-7.6.1.tar.gz",
    ],
)
