While I was testing the build of Drake using 3.5.1 I have discovered a discrepancy with Bazel top level WORKSPACE file that declares a dependency of Bazel in 4.0. Build fails:

If I tried to relax the dependency in WORKSPACE to match the 3.0, then the code does not build with problems related to env in py_test which seems a feature introduced in Bazel 4.0

Part of #1
The top level CMakeLists.txt in Drake 1.12 code declares a minimum version for Bazel of
3.0
. This should not be a problem for Ubuntu Jammy since thebazel-bootstrap
package is in version3.5.1
.While I was testing the build of Drake using
3.5.1
I have discovered a discrepancy with Bazel top level WORKSPACE file that declares a dependency of Bazel in4.0
. Build fails:If I tried to relax the dependency in WORKSPACE to match the
