Bazel 6 compat issues about rules_kotlin HOT 5 OPEN

I could be wrong but I think this is a WORKSPACE error and not a Bzlmod error. At least I'm yet to see this one from Bzlmod. Do you have an example workspace and module file that can be used to repro this?

Yea! You should be able to see it here if you remove the declaration chunk from WORKSPACE.bzlmod and put the equivalent bazel_dep in MODULE.bazel

I was just about to try to fork the rules kotlin repo and use git override to see if I can do something about this locally, but please let me know if I've missed something in my set up

This seems to be only a problem with my existing WORKSPACE.bzlmod, which I think is necessary since it loads in things that are non-bzlmod dependencies as a means to support incremental upgrades alongside bzlmod..

okay 1 more update on this, I don't actually think this is a general problem for Kotlin rules and WORKSPACE.bzlmod, I was able to load some other stuff through WORKSPACE.bzlmod okay.

This problem came up with the content in that WORKSPACE.bzlmod file at that commit, which, all it was doing was trying to download things from Maven.

I've moved those to maven.install in the MODULE.bazel and deleted the lines in WORKSPACE.bzlmod, so I've worked around it for now.

So the current conclusion is that Kotlin rules error out with its deps when I try to download other maven deps in WORKSPACE.bzlmod? Weird edge case behaviour
