Get "https://www.googleapis.com /storage/v1/b/bazel/o?delimiter=/": proxyconnect tcp: net/http: TLS handshake timeout

bazel is banned in Iran. So I set linux proxy (HTTPS_PROXY to https://127.0.0.1:8118) which is Tor via privoxy. Anyways, it seems bazel can't pass through proxy

when I run:

bazel --version

it gives me:

23:31:14 could not resolve the version 'latest' to an actual version number: unab

I'm facing the same problem with you (China ) Have you ever fixed the problem?plz

try to install bazelisk using this:

npm install -g @bazel/bazelisk

or from GitHub:

https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk

Bazelisk tries to find a suitable version of Bazel and install it, to tell it where to look for Bazel, set this variable before calling it.

export BAZELISK_BASE_URL="https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download"

This address isn't blocked and you should be able to install Bazel.

Thanks for replying. But things has not taken a turn for the better with showing the following infos:

2021/05/02 22:10:25 could not resolve the version 'latest' to an actual version number: unable to determine latest version: could not list Bazel versions in GCS bucket: could not list GCS objects at https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/bazel/o?delimiter=/: could not fetch https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/bazel/o?delimiter=/: Get "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/bazel/o?delimiter=/": read tcp 192.168.1.109:46620->216.58.200.42:443: read: connection reset by peer

even the former one which has been built by bazel could run now

I guess it can't map latest to a specific version.

This is the github page for bazelisk. read their README

https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk

In part of it, it writes, read that part:

How does Bazelisk know which Bazel version to run?

Also in this page you can find releases of Bazel:

https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases

so you can set your desired version. PLEASE Note, I said make this setting:

export BAZELISK_BASE_URL="https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download"

before you running bazelisk

===============

Another solution is using a proxy server, or using Tor, however they need more descriptions... There could be also solution that disable checking GSC, again I don't find what was the setting, it was again about setting an environment variable maybe "CHECK_GSC_BUCKET" to false, I don't remember. You even might be able to download and make bazel from source...
