@Profpatsch For some reason native.bazel_version is not set, and the rule_nodejs rules are failing because of it. This happens at the installPhase. I'm stuck on it, thoughts?

Current Bazel is not a release version, cannot check for compatibility.

@GrahamcOfBorg build bazel

The problem here is that bazelbuild/bazel@6f52fca adds a new remote dep, skydoc. That is pulled in by the tests we run after the build, but it’s not locally available, so bazel tries to download it.

I’m taking a shot at debugging why the tests pull in the skydoc repository, but maybe it is best to disable the tests for now.

Update: I don’t get the same error you are getting, my build runs fine (once I disable the postInstall tests).

It could also have something to do with the bazel_java_tools artifact being out of date.
Sadly, @groodt didn’t add a comment where he got the link to the tarball from when he added the artifact, and I have not the slightest idea where to search for it …

During postInstall, it attempts to run some test builds using the WORKSPACE. For 0.24.1 which I helped with, it's here:
https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/f092ec388a4b58788285b928c86f0f81561d4be4/WORKSPACE#L120

For 0.25.1, looks like the WORKSPACE is more comprehensive and loading a bunch of rules:

load("@io_bazel_skydoc//:setup.bzl", "skydoc_repositories")

skydoc_repositories()

load("@io_bazel_rules_sass//:package.bzl", "rules_sass_dependencies")

rules_sass_dependencies()

load("@build_bazel_rules_nodejs//:defs.bzl", "node_repositories")

node_repositories()

load("@io_bazel_rules_sass//:defs.bzl", "sass_repositories")

All of those will hydrate files from the internet.

closing this in favor of #62336
