When I need to execute “gclient sync” in the directory above the chromium source code, I get an error

[yx ma]

At first my directory folder looked like this                

─myproject
│   ├───readme.md
│   ├───win_readme.md

│   ├───linux_readme.md

│   ├───.gclient
│   ├───tools

│   │   └───xxx.patch
│   ├───src
│   │   └───DEPS
I now change the directory structure to

|─myproject

│   ├───readme.md

│   ├───win_readme.md

│   ├───linux_readme.md

│   ├───tools

│   │   └───xxx.patch
│   ├───src
│   ├───DEPS

|─.gclient

I moved the deps and gclient files to the previous level respectively，At the same time, I modified the path in the deps file from src/xx to myproject/src/xx.

Now execute sync to generate location_tags.json and report an error.

It should have read the myproject\src\chrome\VERSION file, but after I changed the DEPS file and directory, it read myproject\chrome\VERSION without src.

how can i solve this problem

I don't believe you can do this; the contents of the DEPS file are tied directly to its position relative to the src/ directory. You would need to rewrite the entire DEPS file to make this work, and I'm not even sure why you would want this.
