Symbolic macros: Argument of type "rule" cannot be assigned to parameter of type "rule | macro | string | None"

[daltonclaybrook]

When creating a Bazel 8 symbolic macro, you can provide an argument called inherit_attrs to indicate that the macro should inherit the attributes of the provided rule.

# macros.bzl

load("@build_bazel_rules_swift//swift:swift_library.bzl", "swift_library")

my_library = macro(
    implementation = _my_library_impl,
    inherit_attrs = swift_library,
    attrs = {
        # my extra attributes
    },
)

However, it seems starpls does not recognize this syntax and emits the following error:

Argument of type "rule" cannot be assigned to parameter of type "rule | macro | string | None"

@daltonclaybrook unfortunately I don't have time to prepare a PR/add tests/etc at the moment but, in case it's of interest, I've got:

• a fix for this issue at rrbutani@c866434
• a first pass at supporting inherit_attrs (such that attributes given to invocations of the macro are type checked) at rrbutani@e6afba2
