How to resolve: unknown repo 'bazel-msbuild' requested from @@

[av-emogai]

When I run the command in the source folder, I get the following error:

(env)  % python ../lavender/generate.py -o ../vs-cpp-template
Extracting Bazel installation...
Starting local Bazel server and connecting to it...
 checking cached actions
Loading: 0 packages loaded
ERROR: Unable to find package for @@[unknown repo 'bazel-msbuild' requested from @@]//bazel-msbuild:msbuild.bzl: The repository '@@[unknown repo 'bazel-msbuild' requested from @@]' could not be resolved: No repository visible as '@bazel-msbuild' from main repository.

I see the msbuild.bzl in the lavender folder along with the package name but why is it not getting picked up automatically by generate.py?
