Failed to fetch chromium source code

[Yu Hui]

I'm newbie to build a chrome for Android by myself. But I couldn't resolve this error after few days struggling. Hope someone big guy can help, thanks in advance.

When I ran this command according to Checking out and building Chromium for Android:

fetch --nohooks android

I got an error:

yuhui@yuhui:~/Desktop$ fetch --nohooks android
/home/yuhui/Desktop/depot_tools/vpython3: line 57: /home/yuhui/Desktop/depot_tools/.cipd_bin/vpython3: No such file or directory

The `.cipd_bin` directory does NOT exist:

yuhui@yuhui:~/Desktop$ ls -l depot_tools/.cipd_bin
ls: cannot access 'depot_tools/.cipd_bin': No such file or directory

As this thread said, run `update_depot_tools` before fetch, but I still got error:

yuhui@yuhui:~/Desktop$ update_depot_tools
/home/yuhui/Desktop/depot_tools/bootstrap_python3: line 32: boots...@3.11.8.chromium.35_bin/python3/bin/python3: No such file or directory

It looks like I don't have the specified python3 located in the desired directory.
I've noted that I don't have directory boots...@3.11.8.chromium.35_bin in depot_tools at all:

yuhui@yuhui:~/Desktop$ ls -l depot_tools/bootstrap*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 yuhui yuhui  984 Dec 21 09:06 depot_tools/bootstrap_python3

depot_tools/bootstrap:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 yuhui yuhui  2850 Dec 21 09:06 win_tools.bat

So I guess there might be something wrong with the bootstrap process? But I am really newbie to the process of building chromium, hope someone can give me guidance.

Thank you!

What happens if you run these commands in update_depot_tools directly?

source "$base_dir/cipd_bin_setup.sh" 

cipd_bin_setup

source "$base_dir/bootstrap_python3"

bootstrap_python3

$base_dir is /home/yuhui/Desktop/depot_tools in your case.
