fix(runfiles): correct Python runfiles path assumption by jsing-canva · Pull Request #3086 · bazel-contrib/rules_python
The current _FindPythonRunfilesRoot() implementation assumes that the Python module has been unpacked four levels below the runfiles directory. This is not the case in multiple situations, for example when rules_pycross is in use and has installed the module via pypi (in which case it is five levels below runfiles). Both strategies already know where the runfiles directory exists - implement _GetRunfilesDir() on the _DirectoryBased strategy, then call _GetRunfilesDir() in order to populate self._python_runfiles_dir. Stop passing a bogus path to runfiles.Create() in testCurrentRepository(), such that the test actually uses the appropriate runfiles path. Fixes bazel-contrib#3085

Feb 9, 2026With any Python version on Windows, `RUNFILES_*` environment variables still point to an intermediate stage path instead of the module path, causing `CurrentRepository()` to raise a `ValueError` since `rules_python` v1.8.0: ``` ValueError: C:\Users\bot\AppData\Local\Temp\Bazel.runfiles_gh34ij5_\runfiles\+_repo_rules+cpython\my_script.py does not lie under the runfiles root C:/cache/ab1cdef2/execroot/_main/bazel-out/x64_windows-fastbuild/bin/external/+_repo_rules+cpython/install.exe.runfiles ``` This was not the case with `rules_python` v1.7.0. The issue stems from bazel-contrib#3086 which, by eliminating a wrong assumption, also brought a stricter behavior. Since bazel-contrib#3086 came up with a corresponding workaround in `//tests/runtime_env_toolchain:toolchain_runs_test`, the proposed fix simply consists in moving it to `CurrentRepository()`, thus adding another case to the workaround introduced by bazel-contrib#1634 for Python < 3.11 - so assuming the main repository on Windows as well. Removing the workaround from `CurrentRepository()`, would make the test fail as follows: ``` ==================== Test output for //tests/runtime_env_toolchain:toolchain_runs_test: E ====================================================================== ERROR: test_ran (__main__.RunTest.test_ran) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\Bazel.runfiles_1f08smy6\runfiles\_main\tests\runtime_env_toolchain\toolchain_runs_test.py", line 13, in test_ran settings_path = rf.Rlocation( "rules_python/tests/support/current_build_settings.json" ) File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\Bazel.runfiles_1f08smy6\runfiles\_main\python\runfiles\runfiles.py", line 306, in Rlocation source_repo = self.CurrentRepository(frame=2) File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\Bazel.runfiles_1f08smy6\runfiles\_main\python\runfiles\runfiles.py", line 404, in CurrentRepository raise ValueError( ...<3 lines>... ) ValueError: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\Bazel.runfiles_1f08smy6\runfiles\_main\tests\runtime_env_toolchain\toolchain_runs_test.py does not lie under the runfiles root c:\users\user\_bazel_user\cxxeswjo\execroot\_main\bazel-out\x64_windows-fastbuild-st-c530e4918e48\bin\tests\runtime_env_toolchain\toolchain_runs_test.exe.runfiles ```
