Description of the bug:

Runfile libraries such as github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go/go/runfiles relies on the environment variables RUNFILES_DIR and RUNFILES_MANIFEST_FILE to work correctly. These two variables are set by Bazel during bazel run. However, if they are set in OS, Bazel would inherit them and not set them anymore, leading to machine dependent behaviors.

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

1. Create a repo like this:

-- WORKSPACE --
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")

http_archive(
    name = "io_bazel_rules_go",
    sha256 = "56d8c5a5c91e1af73eca71a6fab2ced959b67c86d12ba37feedb0a2dfea441a6",
    urls = [
        "https://mirror.bazel.build/github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go/releases/download/v0.37.0/rules_go-v0.37.0.zip",
        "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go/releases/download/v0.37.0/rules_go-v0.37.0.zip",
    ],
)

load("@io_bazel_rules_go//go:deps.bzl", "go_register_toolchains", "go_rules_dependencies")

go_rules_dependencies()

go_register_toolchains(version = "1.19.3")
-- BUILD.bazel --
load("@io_bazel_rules_go//go:def.bzl", "go_binary")

go_binary(
    name = "runfiles",
    srcs = ["main.go"],
    data = ["@go_sdk//:tools"],
    deps = ["@io_bazel_rules_go//go/runfiles"],
)
-- main.go --
package main

import (
        "fmt"
        "log"

        "github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go/go/runfiles"
)

func main() {
        loc, err := runfiles.Rlocation("go_sdk/bin/gofmt")
        if err != nil {
                log.Fatal(err)
        }
        fmt.Println(loc)
}

2. Run:

RUNFILES_DIR=/tmp bazel run //:runfiles

It outputs /tmp/go_sdk/bin/gofmt, but Bazel should ignore RUNFILES_DIR=/tmp, and output something like /private/var/tmp/_bazel_zplin/a20570cf42c983bd18597126a6b3c06e/external/go_sdk/bin/gofmt instead.

Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

macOS

What is the output of bazel info release?

release 6.0.0-homebrew
