failed to download bzl #132
Description
Hello there!
As I understand, bazel-stack-vscode uses bzl to do its tasks. it downloads the tool from: https://get.bzl.io/linux_amd64/v1.5.3/bzl. But download failed with message:
ERROR: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND get.bzl.io. Technical details: {"message":"getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND get.bzl.io","name":"Error","stack":"Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND get.bzl.io\n\tat GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookupall [as oncomplete] (node:dns:122:26)","config":{"url":"https://get.bzl.io/linux_amd64/v1.5.3/bzl","method":"get","headers":{"Accept":"application/json, text/plain, */*","User-Agent":"axios/0.21.4"},"proxy":false,"transformRequest":[null],"transformResponse":[null],"timeout":5000,"responseType":"stream","xsrfCookieName":"XSRF-TOKEN","xsrfHeaderName":"X-XSRF-TOKEN","maxContentLength":-1,"maxBodyLength":-1,"cancelToken":{"promise":{}},"transitional":{"silentJSONParsing":true,"forcedJSONParsing":true,"clarifyTimeoutError":false}},"code":"ENOTFOUND"}
The address cannot be accessed manually either. Maybe the origianl source is not available, is there a way I can manually solve this, like downloading from another available source?
Other info: my current extension version: 1.9.8

Hi,
i have the same issue. Maybe try to download it from here: https://github.com/stackb/bzl

Thank you! I have tried that before. But due to version mismatch, some commands will fail. So the extension still has some issues.
AtillaAtes commentedon Dec 1, 2025
Yes i was testing this extension too but i think it is not maintained anymore. Last update was 2 years ago. It would be nice if the owner could give an answer to our problem.

Yep, or temporarily point to the source we can build ourselves.

A workaround I found is to locate the
v1.5.3-bzlexecutable on a machine that downloaded it before the link went dead (for me, it was~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/stackbuild.bazel-stack-vscode/file-downloader-downloads/v1.5.3-bzl), copy that over to the machine that needs it, and then use thebsv.bzl.server.executableVS Code setting to point to that executable.mpearson commentedon Feb 18, 2026
Ran into this issue, and it completely breaks the
bazel-stack-vscodeextension, even functionality that doesn't depend onbzl. I ended up disabling it with this setting:Not sure what
bzlactually provides, but I'm able to run bazel targets by clicking again so I'm happy.Also, while trying to debug this, I got a hold of a
v1.5.3-bzlbinary from a coworker, and tried to put it in S3 so I could just update thebsv.bzl.downloadBaseUrlsetting and spare the rest of my team from having to think about it. Unfortunately, that setting seems to be ignored, and it continued to fail on thehttps://get.bzl.iorequest. I then manually changed the binary path and that did work, although there were still some other errors withbzlwhich I didn't bother to investigate.AAArthurLiu commentedon Feb 24, 2026
Could you kindly share that binary? I couldn't find it anywhere else.
AAArthurLiu commentedon Feb 24, 2026
After setting
"bsv.bzl.server.enabled": false, it still runs into bsv.lsp issues. When lsp is turned off, the build/run/test clicks of bazel targets are also gone. So I assume somehow they are also connected.Would you mind sharing the binary here? Many thanks!

@pcj howdy! would you be willing to open source the
bzlbinary and accept updates to the plugin to host from github?kambala-decapitator commentedon Oct 16, 2026
I've uploaded the linux binary: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wktz9ownlo8jn4qykxv88/v1.5.3-bzl.txz?rlkey=73piheqxm4nt38a3jliaqkavk&st=u5350l6e&dl=0
