There's probably an error in your chrome/VERSION file.

This problem is specific to your environment, so I think you're the only one who can debug it. I would start by making sure you followed the steps to download Chromium exactly, without skipping any steps.

I have the exact same problem. Downloaded everything yesterday and followed the exact install steps.

First I had another error, missing src/build/util/LASTCHANGE file, which I solved by running /src/build/util/lastchange.py and renaming the output file to LASTCHANGE, as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74646033/how-to-get-rid-of-gn-gen-error-while-building-chromium.

So it's seems to be an error in LASTCHANGE

If you don't have a LASTCHANGE file, you probably didn't follow the instructions to run gclient.
