Checkstyle tests don't work with a generated checkstyle.xml

[vinnybod]

I am trying to run checkstyle tests with a generated checkstyle.xml instead of a file in the source tree. It seems like there is something wrong with the rule that isn't allowing this use case.

I wrote a minimal reproducible example and pushed it to a repo here: https://github.com/vinnybod/bazel_java_example/tree/generated-checkstyle-config

For the minimal reproduction, the macro just copies the checkstyle config from the source tree into the bazel-out runfiles and the label of that genrule is what gets passed into the checkstyle_config.

Thanks for the really clear minimal repro! This should be fixed by #227

Wow thanks for the turnaround on that @illicitonion ! I just tested it out on my larger repo and everything appears to be working.
