gazelle resolve directives not working

[VhalPurohit]

What version of gazelle are you using?

0.35.0 (bazel-gazelle)

What version of rules_go are you using?

0.44.0

What version of Bazel are you using?

6.4.0

Does this issue reproduce with the latest releases of all the above?

Yes (currently using latest versions).

What operating system and processor architecture are you using?

Ubuntu 20.04, x86_64

What did you do?

Created a minimalistic bazel repo (https://github.com/VhalPurohit/gazelle-go-bug/tree/master) for a single main.go file that imports "cloud.google.com/go/storage"
its build rule has deps = ["@com_google_cloud_go//storage"] with a directive # gazelle:resolve go google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/iam/v1 @org_golang_google_genproto//googleapis/iam/v1 and the build has a go_repository rule defined as such

go_repository(
        name = "com_google_cloud_go",
        build_file_proto_mode = "disable_global",
        build_directives = [
                "gazelle:resolve go google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/iam/v1 @org_golang_google_genproto//googleapis/iam/v1",  # keep
            ],
        importpath = "cloud.google.com/go",
        strip_prefix = "google-cloud-go-storage-v1.36.0",
        build_file_generation = "on",
        urls = ["https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/archive/storage/v1.36.0.zip"],
    )

this repository rule by itself doesn't work so I kept adding go_repositories that @com_google_cloud_go depends on unitl the missing strict dependencies error that I couldn't get around

What did you expect to see?

bazel build t2:main succeeds (there are explicit gazelle resolve directives both in the go_repository rule and the BUILD file to prevent the missing strict deps error)

What did you see instead?

Comments

The import that causes the failing strict dep is a protobuf import pb "google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/iam/v1" in com_google_cloud_go/iam/iam.go ; so I tried the go_repository rule with all of

1. build_file_proto_mode = "disable_global"
2. build_file_proto_mode = "disable"
3. build_file_proto_mode = "default"
4. removing the build_file_proto_mode attribute altogether.

But all of them lead to the same error.
It seems like the build directives are not working, but I don't really know what's going on to be fully honest. Please help.
