Description

Incompatible flag --incompatible_no_implicit_file_export will be enabled by default in a future Bazel release [1], thus breaking Android Testing.

The flag is documented here: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/10225

Please check the following CI builds for build and test results:

* Ubuntu 16.04, OpenJDK 8
* Windows, OpenJDK 8
* macOS, OpenJDK 8
* Ubuntu 18.04, OpenJDK 11

Never heard of incompatible flags before? We have [documentation](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/backward-compatibility.html) that explains everything.

If you don't want to receive any future issues for Android Testing or if you have any questions,
please file an issue in https://github.com/bazelbuild/continuous-integration

**Important**: Please do NOT modify the issue title since that might break our tools.

[1] The target release hasn't been determined yet. Our tool will update the issue title once the flag flip has been scheduled.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Bazel incompatible-flag documentation and the four Buildkite CI results for Android Testing. Identify the Android Testing build or test failures caused by --incompatible_no_implicit_file_export, then verify that all listed platforms pass with the flag enabled before its future default flip.
