Seems like an old bazel version:

Pls try:
$ npm install -g @bazel/[email protected]

[chenmins]

I have already run
npm install -g @bazel/[email protected]

Can you try it in "CentOS Linux release 7".
Thank you!

[gkdn]

Seems like this might happen if Bazel cannot find Java installation. https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/7324 should improve things in the next bazel release.

Could you try
sudo apt-get install default-jdk

Closing this issue. Please provide my information if above instruction doesn't fix your issue.

If google sent you here because you've hit this issue, note that bazelbuild/bazel#7324 was not merged.

bazelbuild/bazel#6993 (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/6993#issuecomment-452954429) recommends either --javabase=@embedded_jdk//:jdk or --javabase=@bazel_tools//tools/jdk:remote_jdk

I found bazel coverage --javabase=@bazel_tools//tools/jdk:remote_jdk11 //... (s/remote_jdk/remote_jdk11/) works 2020-07-13.
