gclient sync error on windows

[Munjal Doshi]

When I do gclient sync I get the following error on Windows:

WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'D:\\src\\chromes\\3\\src\\chrome\\browser\\_gclient_internal_sxay5m/*.*'

It has been a while since I sync-ed (several months) and so I created a new client since my .gclient file was out of date. But I haven't updated my depot_tools explicitly. Is that the problem?

[Fred Akalin]

depot_tools auto-updates (or it should, anyway).

That is what I thought.

I checked that there is no folder "D:\\src\\chromes\\3\\src\\chrome\\browser\\_gclient_internal_sxay5m" on my machine. Not sure how that folder is supposed to be created.

I saw a similar problem:

WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'D:\\src\\chrome-int\\src\\chrome\\browser\\_gclient_internal_qxxj8r/*.*'
ending crash report ...
 args: ['D:\\src\\cygwin\\home\\zhaoqin\\Workspace\\Chrome\\depot_tools\\\\gclient.py', 'sync', '-D', '--force']
 cwd: D:\src\chrome-int

however, my depot_tools is updated.

I'm seeing this as well on my Linux machine, which I haven't synced in a while. I can't figure out how to fix this, I even tried blowing away chrome/browser.

I tried updating my depot_tools but now the new depot_tools are not working due to bit9. The weird thing is that the old depot tools at least run fine. Not sure why bit9 wouldn't allow new depot_tools to run while old depot tools run just fine.

[Munjal Doshi]

Hmm, this is not related to bit9. After getting bit9 exception, I still see the exact same error:

It looks like this is in this block in depot_tools/gclient_scm.py:

    tmp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp(

        prefix='_gclient_%s_' % os.path.basename(self.checkout_path),

        dir=parent_dir)

    try:

      # some code

    finally:

      if os.listdir(tmp_dir):

        print('\n_____ removing non-empty tmp dir %s' % tmp_dir)

      gclient_utils.rmtree(tmp_dir)

The 3rd line from the bottom is failing due to tmp_dir no longer existing, even though it was created a few lines further up. To just get unstuck, I think you can comment out the if and the print right after it. Be sure to file an infra bug, but from what I can tell this code hasn't been touched recently.
