gclient startup error on Windows

[George Joseph]

Hello All, 

I was trying to build a new chromium repo and I got this error with gclient:

D:\Chromium\chromium_vanilla\src>gclient sync

Updating depot_tools...
The system cannot find the path specified.


src (ERROR)
----------------------------------------
[0:00:00] Started.
----------------------------------------
Error: Command 'git --version' returned non-zero exit status 1 in .
git version 2.35.1.windows.2

The system cannot find the path specified.

I am running a Windows 11 machine with the 10.0.20348.0 Windows SDK.

This machine did build Chromium 2 weeks ago with the same depot_tools

The depot_tools version I am using : 

commit e3ed6a8e015bada7f2708d990b5e8c4d01bcf047 (HEAD, origin/main, origin/HEAD)
Author: recipe-roller <recipe-mega...@chops-service-accounts.iam.gserviceaccount.com>

I am not sure how I can firgure out what file the depot_tools package is trying to open( The system cannot find the path specified).

Any ideas which could help isolate these missing files.

Thanks,

George.

Do you have depot_tools on top of your %PATH%?

Also adding -v to gclient sync may show more information.

Thanks @tik, I was able to get by the issue by using the "Run as.." option for the command line. Definitely something in my PATH or environment variables.

Thanks,

George.
