Android build: ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory

Hi, first of all: thank you so much for this project. It saves us a lot of our time.

Error description

We run our private gitlab instance and runner and basically out pipeline should run tests and make an android build. The tests run fine but I don't get the build to work (see Error log).

We use unity version 2018.4.14

According to https://gitlab.com/gableroux/unity3d/-/blob/a57c2995/ci-generator/unity_versions.old.yml

Build tools version 28 should be installed, what is exactly our configured target API level

Technical details

Is this failing with shared runners or are you using your own runners? Our own runner
What is you CI configuration (is it different from example project)? Yes, we added steps to setup private git submodules
Did you try with the Example project before trying with your own? Yes, it worked
Did you try running the build locally from command line? No

Did it work previously with a different version? No
Are you using Assets/Scripts/Editor/BuildCommand.cs exactly as is from the repo? I needed to port it .net3.5
