[8.5.0] Add --incompatible_eagerly_resolve_select_keys#27429
Merged
Conversation
This avoids a common gotcha in which a `select` in a macro with repo names in string keys will generally not work correctly when loaded in the context of a different Bazel (Bzlmod) module that uses a different set of apparent names. In the rare case where resolution relative to the loading `BUILD` file is necessary (e.g. in Skylib's `selects.config_setting_group` or other macros that generate `config_setting`s and `select`s referring to them), the keys can be preprocessed with `native.package_relative_label`. RELNOTES: With the new `--incompatible_eagerly_resolve_select_keys` flag, the label string keys of `select` dicts in `.bzl` files are resolved relative to the containing file instead of relative to the BUILD file that ends up using the `select`. Use `native.package_relative_label` if this is not desired. Closes bazelbuild#26216. PiperOrigin-RevId: 811342967 Change-Id: I8a806ae9b94db248bcb18460984f6b418a1284d6

Nit: the idiomatic Bazel 8-era way of saying this is
Package.Builder pkgBuilder = Package.Builder.fromOrNull(thread);
if (pkgBuilder != null) {
labelConverter = pkgBuilder.getLabelConverter();
}

LGTM modulo the nit in SelectorList.java
