When trying to land https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/pull/28957, I ran into problems with the `@com_google_protobuf_previous_release` repo. The root cause of these problems was that this repo combines a previous version of all of our `.bzl` files (like `proto_library.bzl`) with the *current* version of our `MODULE.bazel` file. This is a combination that no user will actually encounter, and when skew between the two causes issues, it is very difficult to debug and fix. If we want to re-introduce these breaking change tests in the future, an alternative approach that would cause fewer problems is to use the examples module at https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/tree/main/examples. That module could include previous versions of the `.proto` files, as well as the breaking change tests to compare against the protos in `@com_google_protobuf`. Since the examples module does not contain a copy of all our `.bzl` files, this design would avoid the `.bzl` skew that causes problems in the current setup. PiperOrigin-RevId: 970790688 |
