Error when running example 3: /usr/bin/zip: Argument list too long

[sttawm]

When running generate_protos.sh proto/google/fhir_examples/myprofile:myprofile, I get:

ERROR: /private/var/tmp/_bazel_sttawm/af784bd1a9c84e41a49e63c2d22f20ae/external/com_google_fhir/spec/BUILD:28:13: Executing genrule @com_google_fhir//spec:_genrule_fhir_stu3_package failed (Exit 1) bash failed: error executing command /bin/bash bazel-out/darwin-fastbuild/bin/external/com_google_fhir/spec/_genrule_fhir_stu3_package.genrule_script.sh

bazel-out/darwin-fastbuild/bin/external/com_google_fhir/spec/_genrule_fhir_stu3_package.genrule_script.sh: line 2: /usr/bin/zip: Argument list too long

Maybe passing a directory to zip would fix it?

I'm on a mac (ios 10.15) which gives:

sttawm$ bazel --version
bazel 3.3.0-homebrew

I'm not sure how to define (and generate protos for) profiles and extensions without hitting this error.

The error seems the result of a bazel rule (?) that generates a command / shell-script with too many arguments.

Any idea where this command is being generated?

The full command is in bazel-out/darwin-fastbuild/bin/external/com_google_fhir/spec/_genrule_fhir_stu3_package.genrule_script.sh

The beginning of it looks like this (minus new-line formatting):

source external/bazel_tools/tools/genrule/genrule-setup.sh; 
zip --quiet -j bazel-out/darwin-fastbuild/bin/external/com_google_fhir/spec/fhir_stu3_package.zip \
external/com_google_fhir/spec/fhir_stu3_package_info.prototxt \
external/com_google_fhir/spec/hl7.fhir.core/3.0.1/modified/StructureDefinition-StructureDefinition.json \

... etc.
