native.bazel_version does not exist in the Homebrew distribution

[jin]

Is this working as intended? Homebrew compiles using compile.sh and sets its own version name, but somehow the bazel_version attribute is not set in the native module.

Location where the version name is generated in Homebrew: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/bazel.rb#L18

This is causing issues for version checks like in bazelbuild/bazel-skylib#17

I'm having the exact same issue. Is there a workaround in the meantime?

@neogia The easiest workaround for now will be to install Bazel from https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/tag/0.10.0

I've made a mistake debugging this - the version checking is working as intended. @neogia do you mind describing what your project set up is?
