Description of the problem / feature request:

Bazel does not set RUNFILES_MANIFEST_FILE for tests when it should.

Update: only with sandboxing.

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

BUILD:

sh_test(
    name = "x",
    srcs = ["x.sh"],
    data = ["BUILD"],
)

x.sh:

#!/bin/bash
env | grep "^RUNFILES_.*="

When runfiles symlinks are enabled, all works fine: RUNFILES_DIR is defined, RUNFILES_MANIFEST_* isn't.

  $ bazel test --enable_runfiles --build_runfile_manifests -t- --test_output=all //:x
...
==================== Test output for //:x:
RUNFILES_DIR=/usr/local/google/.../x.runfiles
================================================================================

When runfiles symlinks are disabled, RUNFILES_MANIFEST_FILE is missing:

  $ bazel test --noenable_runfiles --build_runfile_manifests -t- --test_output=all //:x
...
==================== Test output for //:x:
RUNFILES_MANIFEST_ONLY=1
RUNFILES_DIR=/usr/local/google/.../x.runfiles
================================================================================
