Unable to build WebView from code tag: webview stable 87.0.4280.101

[kleine eule]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to build WebView from the latest stable release tag.

I fetched the code by

git checkout tags/87.0.4280.101 -b 87_0_4280_101 

Set parameters by

gn args out/Default

target_os="android"

is_debug=false

is_official_build=true

is_chrome_branded=false

use_official_google_api_keys=false

exclude_unwind_tables=true

enable_resource_whitelist_generation=true

ffmpeg_branding="Chrome"

proprietary_codecs=true

enable_remoting=true

And I got this error:

ERROR at //device/vr/buildflags/buildflags.gni:24:22: Undefined identifier

  enable_oculus_vr = checkout_oculus_sdk && is_chrome_branded && is_win

                     ^------------------

See //BUILD.gn:21:1: whence it was imported.

import("//device/vr/buildflags/buildflags.gni")

Anything I miss or do wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

remove below build args and try 

exclude_unwind_tables=true

I removed it but still have the same error :(

I have this error even if I remove all args and keep only:

target_os = "android"

target_cpu = "arm64"

I decided to try the earlier stable version

86.0.4240.75

With the same args I get:

ERROR at //build/config/BUILDCONFIG.gn:402:1: set_sources_assignment_filter argument must be an empty list.

set_sources_assignment_filter(sources_assignment_filter)

Did you run "gclient sync" after you checked out the tag you were interested in? Chromium is made of many different repositories and "git checkout" only updates the src repository (the root). "gclient sync" will bring all the other repos into sync with the current version of src.

The errors you are getting sound like you have mismatched repo versions.

Thanks!

It helped!

I definitely should run gclient sync after checkout.
