Bazel workspace broken

[SpencerC]

Following 869c8b1, builds in my macos Bazel workspace fail with the error:

Error in read: Not a regular file: /Users/spencer/<myproject>/external/third_party/jcommander.BUILD

I cannot reproduce this issue on either MacOs or linux - what bazel version are you using?

[SpencerC]

5.1.1-homebrew

Interesting. I cannot reproduce this so far.

I would recommend updating bazel first.

[mikelalcon]

I just confirmed that it builds with bazel 5.1.1 on mac

I recommend running bazel clean --expunge before building
