buildifier_test does not complain when passix fix as a mode

[limdor]

When passing fix to the lint_mode or mode to buildifier_test, Bazel does not complain. This is not nice from a user point of view.

buildifier_test(
    name = "buildifier",
    size = "small",
    timeout = "short",
    lint_mode = "fix",
    mode = "fix",
    no_sandbox = True,
    workspace = "//:WORKSPACE",
)

I tried with buildtools 6.4.0 and Bazel 7.0.0

same here 👍

buildifier_test( name = "buildifier_test", lint_mode = "warn", mode = "check", )

bazel test should fail imo
