Fetch chromium source on Mac OSX

[Kunal Bajpai]

I was trying to fetch chromium source on my Mac. Followed the steps on the docs. And got stuck when I try to fetch. Here's the error:

bash-3.2$ ./fetch --nohooks chromium --nosvn=True 

Running: gclient config --spec 'solutions = [{u'"'"'managed'"'"': False, u'"'"'name'"'"': u'"'"'src'"'"', u'"'"'url'"'"': u'"'"'https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git'"'"', u'"'"'custom_deps'"'"': {}, u'"'"'deps_file'"'"': u'"'"'.DEPS.git'"'"', u'"'"'safesync_url'"'"': u'"'"''"'"'}]'

Traceback (most recent call last):

What could be the reason?

Do you have depot_tools in your path? It looks like it's not finding `gclient` when it's running `gclient sync` behind the scenes. (Arguably, fetch could look at gclient next to it, but there are probably other scripts that rely on depot_tools being on the path :-/)

The depot_tools wasn't on the PATH correctly. I had set it to the path, and then moved it.

Thanks!
