"invalid load syntax" when loading rules from external git repository

[or-shachar]

I'm getting error when loading a rule from external repository:

Full error text:

Invalid load syntax: missing Skylark module.

Might be related to issue #13 .

Env:

• mac os X 10.12.3
• Bazel 0.4.4
• IntelliJ 2016.3.5
• IntelliJ Bazel plugin 2017.02.27.3.

I configured the external repository @io_bazel_rules_scala as git_repository in the workspace file.

bazel runs without problems from the shell.

Thanks for letting us know. This is fixed for the next release, which should arrive in around two weeks -- we've added a lot more external workspace (and WORKSPACE file) support (e.g. syntax highlighting in WORKSPACE files, navigation/find usages for external workspace targets).

Great! Thanks @brendandouglas !
