Description of the bug:

Using an aspect and an output group (setting one explicitly/removing default), to change "into what" a target is build, will result in an empty output when using cquery --output=files.

bazel build --output_groups=og --aspects=path%aspect //target
bazel cquery --output_groups=og --aspects=path%aspect //target --output=files

• aspect creates a file
• og is the output group used by aspect
• Without overwriting the output_group the original/non-aspect file is shown.

Maybe I'm holding the tool wrong; I didn't find another way to figure out where bazel generated output from a bazel build invocation lands.

Which category does this issue belong to?

Core

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

No response

Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

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

What's the output of git remote get-url origin; git rev-parse HEAD ?

No response

If this is a regression, please try to identify the Bazel commit where the bug was introduced with bazelisk --bisect.

Same behaviour as 7.4.0 - didn't check earlier.
