No such package remotejdk_win

[ozio85]

Description of the problem / feature request:

When trying to run GoogleTest on windows, I get:
"bazel_tools/tools/jdk/BUILD:305:1: no such package '@remotejdk_win//': java.io.IOException: thread interrupted and referenced by '@bazel_tools//tools/jdk:remote_jdk'"

According to what I have read in the manual, it seems that this package should be downloaded automatically? I am working behind a proxy, so this can be a factor as well. However, all other workspace rules works, so my question is then: Why is remotejdk_win special?

I can get it to work by selecting my local java installation:
--host_javabase=@local_jdk//:jdk

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

I have provided a minimal repro, that use GoogleTest and runs a simple unittest:
Repro.zip

What operating system are you running Bazel on?

Windows 10

What's the output of bazel info release?

0.22.0, (tested also with 0.23.1, same behavior)

Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?

• GitHub issues:
  BuildKite failure tracking angular/angular#27508
  Bazel's embedded JDK is only used to run Bazel. #6313

Any other information, logs, or outputs that you want to share?

We where also seeing something similar just now in ci:

(11:19:46) ERROR: error loading package '': Encountered error while reading extension file 'python/pip.bzl': no such package '@io_bazel_rules_python//python': java.io.IOException: thread interrupted
(11:19:46) ERROR: error loading package '': Encountered error while reading extension file 'python/pip.bzl': no such package '@io_bazel_rules_python//python': java.io.IOException: thread interrupted

Maybe something failed during download of the external package and poisoned the cache?

Rerunning ci did fix the issue and we are currently running on 0.23.0rc1.

For me.. no .. I can start from a fresh build, and still get the error..

It seems it is some kind of combination of proxy settings, and settings not forwarded correctly. I have managed to get it to work, so I will close this issue.

One problem is that even if i wanted to have it local (i do not want to download java), even if I set host_javabase and javabase, Bazel will try to download remote_java_tools_windows..
