Description of the bug:

As of Bazel 6.0.0, a change was made to bazel/rules/python/python_stub_template.txt that gates the deletion of the Bazel.runfiles_* directory that is created in /tmp. This is because it depends on workspace being set, and workspace is only set when RUN_UNDER_RUNFILES is set. This is a regression from the previous behavior where the directory placed in /tmp would be deleted as long as it was running under a zip. This should be fixed so that the Bazel.runfiles_* directories are cleaned up whenever it is running under a zip.

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

Build a zipapp target on Bazel 6.0.0 (without RUN_UNDER_RUNFILES set) and on whatever machine you consume that zipapp there will be a Bazel.runfiles_<sha> directory with the zipapp contents left around from execution.

Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

Linux

What is the output of bazel info release?

release 6.0.0

If bazel info release returns development version or (@non-git), tell us how you built Bazel.

Pinging this issue. @rickeylev I noticed you've been making changes around the Python rules here. Would you be able to take a look? This issue is coming up more and more as more projects are upgraded to Bazel 6.

What is this "RUN_UNDER_RUNFILES" environment variable? Is there some doc about this? As near as I can tell it's only set when Bazel runs a target as a test?

Anyways, yeah, bug. I was able to repro.

Posterity/notes to self: This was PR #15590

PR bazelbuild#15590 accidentally introduced a bug where zip-based binaries weren't
cleaning up the temporary runfiles directory they extracted their zip
into when they were run *outside* of a test invocation.

To fix, explicitly keep track of when the module space needs to be
deleted or not, and pass that long to the code that decides how to
execute the program and how to clean it up afterwards.

@rickeylev thank you for getting this done so quickly. Can you merge this into the Bazel 6.1 branch so that it can go out as soon as possible?

I suppose so. I've never done or requested a backport, so I'll have to ask around how to do that.

Hi all, can this wait till the next release (6.2)? We've already created the third release candidate for 6.1 and plan to do the final release on Monday, so we won't be able to include this.

Hi,

Yes, if it's too late for 6.1, then 6.2 is fine.

I was seeing this on 6.3.2 and tried upgrading to 7.1.1 to see if it fixed it, but it still happens.

Anyone else still seeing this?

I also still see this in 6.2.1. I haven't tried a newer version. The runfiles dir is cleaned up if the subprocess exits normally, but if the process is signaled, the shutil.rmtree never gets executed.

I don't know how this might affect non-zipapp use cases, but maybe register a sighandler for TERM/INT to signal the child process, then reset the disposition. Otherwise, to try and use Python's tempfile.TemporaryDirectory to have the interpreter do a best-effort cleanup.
