Ninja Error while building ChromePublic APK on ToT !

[Sohan]

Hi,

I am trying to build Chromium from a fresh sync today.

MAJOR=61

MINOR=0

BUILD=3125

PATCH=0 

The gclient sync went fine, but on running build command,

ninja -C out/Default chrome_public_apk

I get the following Ninja error,

ninja: Entering directory `out/Default'

ninja: error: toolchain.ninja:1292: unknown pool name

I tried removing and re-cloning my depot_tools, and also the out/ folder, but the error persists. Any pointers ?

Thanks,

Sohan

What's on line 1292 of your toolchain.ninja file?

Did you try doing an explicit "gn gen"?

Hi,

Yes, i did explicit,

gn gen out/Default/ and gn args out/Default/

before the ninja command,

The out/Default/toolchain.ninja at 1292 is blank, before that this is the last command.

build gen/android_webview/system_webview_apk/classes.dex.zip: __android_webview_system_webview_apk__final_dex___build_toolchain_android_android_clang_arm__rule | obj/android_webview/system_webview_apk__final_dex.inputdeps.stamp

  depfile = gen/android_webview/system_webview_apk__final_dex.d

  pool = console

Anything :/ ??

Thanks,

Sohan

Which version of ninja are you using? Is it the version from depot_tools or do you have another version in your PATH?

I tried to delete all gen files but it didnt work either, so i decided to just nuke my src/ and gave a fresh sync, hopefully it turns out better !

I checked the ninja version btw, it is 1.3.4

Thanks,

Then you are probably not using the version of ninja from depot_tools. The version of ninja in depot_tools is 1.7.2.

Check your PATH. Try putting depot_tools as first item in your PATH and check whether this fix your issue.

Thanks Sylvain. That indeed was the main problem. The ninja from my usr/bin/ was getting picked up instead of from depot_tools/.

Thanks,

I filed https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=732518 about possibly improving the error message here.
