I am trying to use the Fast Run feature of the intellij plugin for bazel. In our setup, we are using the default Java toolchains with a remote JDK toolchain, which is used for hermetic testing and compilation: https://bazel.build/docs/bazel-and-java#hermetic-testing
When trying to run a fast build, I get the following error
Error running 'Bazel test <class name>'
Cannot run program "../local_jdk/bin/java" (in directory "<runfiles directory>"): error=2, No such file or directory
In our setup, the java binary is present at ../remotejdk11_linux/bin/java.
Looking at the code, it seems the fast build set up is hardcoded to look for the local_jdk, rather than the jdk configured in our toolchain
Open the project in IntelliJ and start a Bazel sync. Try to Fast Run your test class. It should fail with the above error message
Which Intellij IDE are you using? Please provide the specific version.
IntelliJ IDEA 2024.1 Build #JBC-241.14494.240
What programming languages and tools are you using? Please provide specific versions.
Java 11, Bazel 7.2.1
What Bazel plugin version are you using?
2024.06.18.0.1-api-version-241
Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?
I found #6431 which introduces an option to manually specific the path to the java binary in the runfiles directory. As a work around, I can set this to remotejdk11_linux/bin/java manually.
However, this is quite fragile, as now if we ever make changes to our toolchain setup then end users' fast runs will break
Any other information, logs, or outputs that you want to share?

I would expect the plugin to identify what is the toolchain setup, and pick the appropriate path to the java binary.
Which category does this issue belong to?
Intellij
What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.
