Unexpected internal error associated with src including subdirectory with .aidl file

[bolinfest]

This is the expected behavior: javac cannot process .aidl files on its own. For .aidl files, you should be using gen_aidl():

As the documentation mentions, we plan to fix things so that android_library() handles .aidl files. I apologize, as the docs should have an example of how to use it. For now, I'll include one here:

# This creates IAnalyticsService.java as a genfile.
gen_aidl(
  name = 'IAnalyticsService',
  aidl = 'src/com/facebook/analytics/IAnalyticsService.aidl',
  import_path = 'src/com/facebook/analytics/',
)

android_library(
  name = 'analytics',
  srcs = glob(['src/**/*.java']) + \
      # Also include the generated .java files as sources.
      [genfile(f) for f in [
          'src/com/facebook/analytics/IAnalyticsService.java']],
  deps = [
    ':IAnalyticsService',
  ],
  visibility = [
    'PUBLIC',
  ],
)
