Description
Incompatible flag --incompatible_no_implicit_file_export will be enabled by default in a future Bazel release [1], thus breaking rules_closure.
The flag is documented here: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/10225
Please check the following CI builds for build and test results:
*
macOS, OpenJDK 8
*
Ubuntu 18.04, OpenJDK 11
*
Ubuntu 16.04, OpenJDK 8
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 rules_closure 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 reading Bazel issue 10225 and the backward-compatibility documentation linked in the issue, then inspect the macOS and Ubuntu CI results for the incompatible flag. Determine which rules_closure build or test behavior breaks under --incompatible_no_implicit_file_export; done means the listed CI builds pass with the flag enabled.
