"Rerun Failed Tests" causes invalid test_filter

[aherrmann]

Clicking the "Rerun Failed Tests" icon constructs an empty --test_filter= parameter to Bazel which always causes the test to fail.

Steps to Reproduce

• Checkout this example project

• Import into IntelliJ using this project view file

  directories:
    .
  targets:
    //:tests_test_suite_src_test_scala_org_example_hello_HelloSpec.scala
  additional_languages:
    scala
  

• Modify the test-case to make it fail. E.g.

     it should "greet the given name" in {
  -    assert(Hello.hello("Some Name") === "Hello Some Name!")
  +    assert(Hello.hello("Some Name") === "Hello some Name!")
     }

• Click "Run selected configuration" on the Bazel test :tests_..._HelloSpec.scala run configuration.
  

• Click "Rerun Failed Tests"
  

• Observe the following test failue

  ...
  //:tests_test_suite_src_test_scala_org_example_hello_HelloSpec.scala     FAILED in 1.1s
  ...    
  Executed 1 out of 1 test: 1 fails locally.
  Empty test suite.
  

• Notice how Bazel is passed an empty --test_filter= argument

  bazel test --tool_tag=ijwb:IDEA:community --curses=no --color=yes --experimental_ui=no --progress_in_terminal_title=no --runs_per_test=1 --flaky_test_attempts=1 --build_event_binary_file=/tmp/intellij-bep-1d9f67b5-e323-4392-bd49-4c2ec1464a7b --nobuild_event_binary_file_path_conversion --test_filter= -- //:tests_test_suite_src_test_scala_org_example_hello_HelloSpec.scala
  

Details

• Executing the following command reveals the actual error

  $ bazel test --test_filter= --cache_test_results=no --test_output=errors -- //:tests_test_suite_src_test_scala_org_example_hello_HelloSpec.scala
  ...
  ==================== Test output for //:tests_test_suite_src_test_scala_org_example_hello_HelloSpec.scala:
  *** RUN ABORTED ***
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
    at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:381)
  ...
  INFO: Build completed, 1 test FAILED, 2 total actions
  ...
  INFO: Build completed, 1 test FAILED, 2 total actions
  

• Expected behavior: Call bazel with a non-empty --test_filter argument such as

  --test_filter=org.example.hello.HelloSpec
