$(query_targets) parsing error

I have a genrule that looks like this:

genrule (
  name = 'dist-server',
  bash = """echo $(query_targets "kind('prebuilt_jar', deps(attrfilter(labels, 'server', '//...')))") >$OUT """,
  out = 'dist-server.txt',
)

This rule generates the following error from Buck:

BUILD FAILED: Error parsing target expression //... for target //:dist-server

However, this interactive command from the shell works:

bash$ buck query "kind('prebuilt_jar', deps(attrfilter(labels, 'server', '//...')))"
//ThirdParty/deps:lucene-memory
//ThirdParty/deps:lucene-queries
//ThirdParty/deps:lucene-sandbox
...
//ThirdParty/deps:gson

The documentation states:

The query_* macros accepts a quoted query expression which supports the following query functions:

• attrfilter
• deps
• except
• classpath
• intersect
• filter
• kind
• set
• union

Of which the above expression appears to conform.

Ultimately, our goal is to generate a rule that depends (dynamically) on labeled java_library targets, and queries their respective outputs via $(query_outputs ...) for the purposes of copying them into a distribution folder.

Am I missing something?

@asp2insp Thanks. We sliced the cake in a different way to solve our use case.

@brettwooldridge, can you share your code snippet?
