Release: rules_java 7.12.1: deploy jar not provided for tests

[tpasternak]

The project:

BUILD.bazel:

load("@rules_java//java:defs.bzl", "java_test")

java_test(
    name = "test",
    srcs = ["Test.java"],
    test_class = "Test",
    deps = [],
)

MODULE.bazel

bazel_dep(name = "rules_java", version = "7.12.1")

Test.java

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

    }
}

Scenario

run bazel build :test

Expected result:

test_deploy.jar is built (doc: https://bazel.build/reference/be/java#java_test_implicit_outputs)

Actual result:

only test.jar is built

@tpasternak are we still passing --experimental_java_test_auto_create_deploy_jar --output_groups=+_hidden_top_level_INTERNAL_ from plugin side, I see we had bazelbuild/intellij@a61a256 to fix fast test for Bazel 7.

@hvadehra is there something else we should add?

[tpasternak]

Ok, I didn't know about the flag. We do pass it and it doesn't work

[tpasternak]

oh, wait, there is this thing 071069d

[tpasternak]

okay, fixed in 8.1.0

[hvadehra]

Sorry for the breakage, this actually happened in Bazel in bazelbuild/bazel@364cc11

fwiw, I'm planning to backport the fix to rules_java 7.x as well.

[hvadehra]

FYI rules_java 7.12.2 with the fix 071069d has been released and published to the BCR.

Thank you @hvadehra
