What you were trying to do (and why)

Trying to install bazel

https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/bazel

What happened (include command output)

Error: cannot install bazel due to incorrect JAVA_HOME

The JAVA_HOME environment variable is being set incorrectly by the bazel formula. The formula uses MacOS style Java directories that do not exist on Linux. See #21161.

Command output

==> Installing bazel

==> ./compile.sh

Building Bazel from scratch

ERROR: JAVA_HOME (/home/<...>/homebrew/opt/openjdk@11/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home) is not a path to a working JDK.

What you expected to happen

Should correctly install bazel

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew install commands)

brew install bazel

Found this earlier pull request on the same issue #20348.

Is there a reason no one wants to fully fix bazel on linuxbrew? If so, it should probably not be offered as a formula.

[dawidd6]

It's not that we don't want to fix it. We just don't know how to do it and would use some help with that.

[baranyildirim]

Okay, I understand. I will try to create a PR that fully passes CI.
