local development does not work (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: dagger/internal/Factory)

Hi all

I found #1235, which is closed. It references the same error and as a response, it mentions to follow the local development manual (https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_kotlin/blob/master/README.md#with-bzlmod).

I did that, but it still fails with this:

ERROR: .../BUILD:3:11: JdepsMerge //gaCommon/src/main/java/com/getabstract/common/util/mail:mail { jdeps: 1 } failed: Worker process did not return a WorkResponse:

#1235 only mentioned that it has something to do with release/non-release. I use dozens of bazel_deps via local repository but only this repository does not support it. I think this is a major problem that we need to tackle.

Would develar@cb4d17f be a viable solution (removing the dagger depencency)?

And how do you personally work with rules_kotlin? I assume you need to test your changes somehow. We could at least update the Readme. Best case for me would be, that a simple local_path_override or git_override just works. What is necessary that this becomes possible?

I am willing to put some effort into that. @develar seems to also be interested, reading the original bug report.

I ran into the same error, just remove the line mentioning dagger from the jarjar file. Not sure what this does or why this works.
