can't install depot_tools on windows

[Daniel Klug]

Hi,

I followed the instructions on this site: http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools

I downloaded the zip file extracted it to C:\depot_tools and added it to the end of my path env variable.

After that I opened an administrator cmd and run gclient with the following output:

C:\>gclient

Installing python 2.7.6...

Fetching from https://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/tools/third_party/python276_bin.zip

Installing git 1.9.0.chromium.5 (avg 1-2 min download) ...

Fetching from https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra/git-1.9.0.chromium.5_bin.zip

""c:\depot_tools\git.bat"" is not recognized as an internal or external command

""c:\depot_tools\git.bat"" is not recognized as an internal or external command

I checked the folder and git.bat was there so I started gclient again with the following output:

C:\>gclient

Installing git 1.9.0.chromium.6 (avg 1-2 min download) ...

Fetching from https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra/git-1.9.0.chromium.6_bin.zip

The system cannot find the path specified.

The system cannot find the path specified.

It never installs win_toolchain or anything and with further calls of gclient nothing happens.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package is installed.

Could someone give me a hint whats wrong? 

Thanks

Daniel

Could you paste here your PATH variable?

here is my Path var:

Path=C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Windows Performance Toolkit\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Windows Performance Toolkit\;C:\Program Files\nodejs\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.0\;c:\depot_tools;C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Roaming\npm\

You don't seem to have an installed version of Python on your PATH. I think Python is actually required by gclient, even though it installs its own copy.

Try downloading Python, installing it, and then adding it to your path before trying again. I filed a bug about this a while ago (crbug.com/395488) but I don't think it's a straightforward fix.

I've installed python 2.7 and tried again with the same result.

My new path var = Path=C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Windows Performance Toolkit\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Windows Performance Toolkit\;C:\Program Files\nodejs\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.0\;c:\Python27;c:\depot_tools;C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Roaming\npm\

So python was not the problem.

Not sure if that is the root cause, but might be a problem: you have C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin in your path before depot_tools, which might end up using a wrong version of git.

Can you try to cleanup your path (just in your shell, not in system settings), and

set PATH="C:\Windows\System32;c:\depot_tools;c:\Python27"

before you run gclient and see if it helps?

[Daniel Klug]

same result with this path var:

Path=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Python27;c:\depot_tools;

Try download link https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra/git-1.9.0.chromium.6_bin.zip directly。

If download success, maybe you can unzip to depot_tools, and run gclient again.

Ok, I tested on my personal PC and I see exactly the same:

On the other side, regardless the errors, after the 2nd invocation seems to work fine.

I really don't think so. I've just tested it, forcing the PATH to contain only win32 and depot_tools and it works fine (% the aforementioned err messages).

Any update on this issue? I am also running into the same issue & don't seem to find a way out. Can anyone please throw any pointer?

Thanks
