The system cannot find the path specified. when I run "cd src"

[Zachary Rude]

Hi,

When I try to cd to the src directory when trying to build Chromium from source, I get the error "The system cannot find the path specified.", even though it works for you. How do I fix this?

Hi,

I suppose it is difficult for those who read this question to understand your current status.  Let me ask several questions to understand your current status.

Can I ask you what operating system you are using?  Also, how did you check out the source code?  You might have a document or a web page you followed, right?  Listing up the commands you executed and what you have seen as replies are very helpful for me to understand your current status.  If I could not understand the current status from them, I may ask your current working directory, the result of `ls` or `find .`, and available disk space, which may have some private information and I do not want to ask in the first place.

Just FYI, but when I build Chromium, I usually visit https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/get-the-code, and choose the operating system I am currently using or the build target I want to build to understand the procedure.

Thank you,

Yoshisato.

I got the code by running "fetch chromium", and I'm on Windows 10.

Let me confirm.  Please answer yes or no.

You have downloaded a depot_tools zip file, extracted, and have that in the PATH, right?

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/main/docs/windows_build_instructions.md#install

You have python installed on your Windows 10, right?

e.g. What can you see if you execute "python --version"

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/main/docs/windows_build_instructions.md#check-python-install

Then, you have created directories like chromium and already cd to chromium, right?

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/main/docs/windows_build_instructions.md#get-the-code

"fetch chromium" you mean should be the instruction after this.

Then, is it possible for you to copy and paste the messages when you execute "fetch chromium"?

I believe it explains why you saw "The system cannot find the path specified."
