[gluester]

getting the same thing any fix yet?

[gluester]

deleting the directory and re cloning it from the git repository did the trick

stuck on third_party skia issues though after that seems like the automated script isnt foolproof at all

[gluester]

i believe you gotta follow up with this on skia nowadays

If the problem is a damaged checkout you can pass --force-clean and/or --force-clean-deps flags to automate-git.py.
