Describe the bug The test module run for PR https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-central-registry/pull/3288 fails on Windows:

C:/b/bk-windows-j20f/bazel-org-repo-root/output/rules_sh-0.5.0/tests/sh_binaries/BUILD.bazel:3:23: Executing genrule //sh_binaries:genrule failed: (Exit 127): bash.exe failed: error executing Genrule command (from target //sh_binaries:genrule)
...
/usr/bin/bash: line 1: c:\\b\\3mrahdhj\\execroot\\_main\\bazel-out\\x64_windows-fastbuild\\bin\\sh_binaries\\hello_world.exe.runfiles/_main/sh_binaries/hello_world: No such file or directory

See https://buildkite.com/bazel/bcr-presubmit/builds/9106

To Reproduce Run bazel test ... in tests directory on Windows with Bazel >= 7.3.

Note, this only happens when using --build_tests_only (which is used by default on BCR tests).

I tracked this down to ~https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/282ac623df3523e2e31a2de9c002e5c50da19fec~ https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/610fe7bb25c8853fd9b55d85cb08d2bf4e3ee8b7

@fmeum do you have an idea how I can fix this? Should I create an issue in bazelbuild/bazel?

[fmeum]

Thanks for catching this. Could you file an issue on the Bazel repo? This needs a fix and probably also a point release. I'll dig into why it happens.
