Subrepos trying to register twice?

[ghost]

I'm trying to use subrepos as documented here, but every time I try to build something using a subrepo, it tries to register the subrepo twice and dies with

CRITICAL: Subrepo [name] is already registered

The easiest way to reproduce this is using the pleasings repo (master at 9adc8f5b340ff517dd79048e724c40a0ed33bcae at time of writing):

git clone https://github.com/thought-machine/pleasings.git
cd pleasings
plz build @unittest_cpp//:unittest_cpp

This results in:

CRITICAL: Subrepo unittest_cpp is already registered

I get a similar effect with simple examples I write myself.

Version:

$ plz --version
Please version 13.1.1

(which is weird in and of itself, considering the latest version according to git is 13.1.0)

Could somebody please confirm if this is a bug or if I am misunderstanding how to use subrepos?

It is a bug - subrepos are still pretty experimental. Various of the changes in #382 will help I think, but that has fallen afoul of another issue (and I haven't had time to come back to it yet).

[peterebden]

I've broken those changes out separately in #403 ; will do another release for that shortly.

Whoops, not come back to this one for a while - but should all be more working now. Have tested the original example and it looks OK.
