What version of protobuf and what language are you using?
Version: v29.2
Language: All
What operating system (Linux, Windows, ...) and version?
Linux/macOS
What runtime / compiler are you using (e.g., python version or gcc version)
clang 16.0.0
What did you do?
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Run
bazelisk build '//:protoc_lib'
What did you expect to see
Build should download bazel (if needed) and compile the protobuf library.
What did you see instead?
$ bazelisk build //:protoc_lib

It would be nice if protobuf checked in a .bazelversion with a known good version of Bazel to use for compilation, as without it the build attempts to use the latest version of Bazel. For reference, gRPC checks one in https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/.bazelversion. After creating this file, compilation succeeds with bazelisk.
