Trouble building trunk with automate

[puresimmer]

Hey folks, I have been building without incident for months, but today my trunk build fails. I am using the automate.py to do the build.

I installed the Windows 8.1 SDK per recent instructions. Here is the error I see in the console window: Any ideas?

Code: Select all

Do you mean automate-git.py? You also need to install Visual Studio 2013 locally, see http://www.chromium.org/developers/how- ... ns-windows.

Yes, i meant automate-git.py, should have been more precise. Yes I have VS 2013 Professional installed locally and have been using the VS 2013 tool chain since it was the preferred ninja build route.

I'll keep digging. I tried deleting everything and staring over from scratch, but still am hitting the same issue. I'll post here when I find a solution.

BTW, thanks for an amazing project

It seems that Chromium is not detecting your VS install successfully. You can try adding some print statements in build\vs_toolchain.py (based on the call stack locations) to debug the problem.

I fixed it and wanted to follow up should others hit it. In my case this happened because I had recently installed the Windows 8.1 SDK and that was conflicting with changes Chromium is making with not requiring VS 2013 local installs.

To workaround I did this:

1. Uninstall Win 8.1 SDK (I know, brute force lol)
2. Made sure the environment has: DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0

(change into my Chromium directory)
3. python .\automate-git.py --download-dir=. --no-debug-build --force-clean

I'm not sure if the --force-clean was needed, I just wanted to be sure.

Hope that helps someone some day
