Bazel 7.1.1 and intermittent class not found

[tempacc21]

Hi,

We experienced random errors when using

$BAZEL_BIN coverage --build_tests_only --combined_report=lcov --coverage_report_generator=@bazel_sonarqube//:sonarqube_coverage_generator --strategy=CoverageReport=local,remote

(15:09:42) ERROR: : Coverage report generation failed: (Exit 1): coverage.launcher failed: error executing CoverageReport command
(cd /home/runner/.cache/bazel/_bazel_runner/bccdf71c163d013389bc1939108453cd/execroot/_main &&

Configuration: system
Error: Could not find or load main class com.google.devtools.coverageoutputgenerator.SonarQubeCoverageGenerator
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.google.devtools.coverageoutputgenerator.SonarQubeCoverageGenerator

We changed to use :SonarQubeCoverageGenerator instead and that seems a lot more stable. Any idea why?

Since upgrading to 7.x I've found the same, using coverage --coverage_report_generator=@bazel_sonarqube//:SonarQubeCoverageGenerator is more stable. I'm not sure exactly why, but I'll update the docs at some point.
