Flag --incompatible_config_setting_private_default_visibility will break rules_webtesting in Bazel 7.0

[keertk]

Incompatible flag --incompatible_config_setting_private_default_visibility will be enabled by default in the next major release (Bazel 7.0), thus breaking rules_webtesting. Please migrate to fix this and unblock the flip of this flag.

The flag is documented here: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/12933.

Please check the following CI builds for build and test results:

• MacOS, OpenJDK 11
• Ubuntu 18.04, OpenJDK 11
• Windows, OpenJDK 11

Never heard of incompatible flags before? We have documentation that explains everything. If you have any questions, please file an issue in https://github.com/bazelbuild/continuous-integration.

This project is on an old rules_go release; after its deps are updated, I think this will be ok

[joshbruning]

I tried building with today's rules_go release; however, there will need to also be a new bazel-gazelle (not yet released) due to (at least) https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go/pull/3276

@joshbruning hi, are you still a maintainer here? I noticed this issue is 6mo old, I am sure any changes you need from rules_go and bazel-gazelle have been released.

[joshbruning]

No, I haven't been for some years; @mtrea - I think you should try updating the version set and trying a build at least (it may end up being easy); the version diff is getting bigger, and will eventually make the update more difficult to do in one-shot, and there have been an increasing number of linter headaches
