Can't run Flutter project if it's within a Bazel directory

I have a Flutter project that’s within a Bazel directory. It’s not built by Bazel in any way, but it happens to be in a monorepo that uses Bazel for most other things.

Running and debugging from within Android Studio used to work fine, but is now broken. Trying to launch main.dart results in an error:

Entrypoint isn’t within a Flutter pub root.

Looking at Preferences > Languages & Frameworks > Flutter shows that the Flutter SDK path has changed to /Users/rohan/tidbyt/null <set by bazel project>. That isn’t a valid path on my machine. Resetting the setting here doesn’t seem to do anything.

I have a hunch that this is related to #4735 (/cc @helin24 @jacob314). My guess is that that broke the IntelliJ plugin for Flutter projects in Bazel directories outside of Google.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have a Flutter project that’s inside a Bazel workspace. (not at Google)
2. Try to run the project from within Android Studio

@helin24 Yup, that’s exactly how my project is setup.

Thanks for checking; it’s likely there is an issue with our bazel check, so we’ll look into it.
