Dependency .jar not found for kt_js_library with v1.9.0, but works fine with previous version (v1.8.1)

[sudopk]

With 1.9.0:

# https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_kotlin
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
http_archive(
    name = "rules_kotlin",
    sha256 = "5766f1e599acf551aa56f49dab9ab9108269b03c557496c54acaf41f98e2b8d6",
    url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_kotlin/releases/download/v1.9.0/rules_kotlin-v1.9.0.tar.gz",
)

load("@rules_kotlin//kotlin:repositories.bzl", "kotlin_repositories", "versions")

KOTLINC_VERSION = versions.KOTLIN_CURRENT_COMPILER_RELEASE.version

print("Kotlinc version: %s" % KOTLINC_VERSION)

kotlin_repositories()  # if you want the default. Otherwise see custom kotlinc distribution below

load("@rules_kotlin//kotlin:core.bzl", "kt_register_toolchains")

kt_register_toolchains()  # to use the default toolchain, otherwise see toolchains below

I am using a dependency (any deps will do) via rules_jvm_external (version is immaterial, but i am using 5.3):

"org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-html-js:0.6.12",

Then with rules:

load("@rules_kotlin//kotlin:js.bzl", "kt_js_import", "kt_js_library")
load("@rules_jvm_external//:defs.bzl", "artifact")

kt_js_library(
    name = "js",
    srcs = ["MyWhateverJs.kt"],
    deps = [
        ":kotlinx_html_js",
    ],
)

kt_js_import(
    name = "kotlinx_html_js",
    jars = [
        artifact("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-html-js"),
    ],
)

Then following fails:

Not sure if it is Kotlin IR backend issue or we are not setting some search path appropriately. But it works with kotlin_rules version v1.8.1 i.e. just replace the above http_archive with:

http_archive(
    name = "rules_kotlin",
    sha256 = "a630cda9fdb4f56cf2dc20a4bf873765c41cf00e9379e8d59cd07b24730f4fde",
    url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_kotlin/releases/download/v1.8.1/rules_kotlin_release.tgz",
)

Then:

warning: ==========
This project currently uses the Kotlin/JS Legacy compiler backend, which has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

Please migrate your project to the new IR-based compiler (https://kotl.in/jsir).
Because your build tool will not support the new Kotlin/JS compiler, you will also need to migrate to Gradle.

You can continue to use the deprecated legacy compiler in the current version of the toolchain by providing the compiler option -Xuse-deprecated-legacy-compiler.
