Upgrading to bazel modules

[itmecho]

🐛 Bug Report

I'm trying to upgrade our monorepo to bazel modules but I'm getting an issue where grpc-gateway doesn't seem to be able to resolve the @googleapis module. This is the error I'm getting:

ERROR: no such package '@@[unknown repo 'googleapis' requested from @@gazelle++go_deps+com_github_grpc_ecosystem_grpc_gateway_v2]//google/api': The repository '@@[unknown repo 'googleapis' requested from @@gazelle++go_deps+com_github_grpc_ecosystem_grpc_gateway_v2]' could not be resolved: No repository visible as '@googleapis' from repository '@@gazelle++go_deps+com_github_grpc_ecosystem_grpc_gateway_v2'

I have tried running the following commands and they both work so I'm pretty sure I've configured the root module correctly

bazel build @googleapis//google/api:annotations_proto
bazel build @googleapis//google/api:annotations_go_proto

To Reproduce

I have created a minimal repo that has the same issue. The README contains the output from some relevant commands.

Expected behavior

grpc-gateway should be able to resolve @googleapis

Actual Behavior

ERROR: no such package '@@[unknown repo 'googleapis' requested from @@gazelle++go_deps+com_github_grpc_ecosystem_grpc_gateway_v2]//google/api': The repository '@@[unknown repo 'googleapis' requested from @@gazelle++go_deps+com_github_grpc_ecosystem_grpc_gateway_v2]' could not be resolved: No repository visible as '@googleapis' from repository '@@gazelle++go_deps+com_github_grpc_ecosystem_grpc_gateway_v2'

Hi, thanks for the issue. I'm really not very familiar with Bazel, but I've been fortunate enough to have had help from contributors like @AlejoAsd, who may be able to figure out what's going on 😬.
