[Win32 fetch chromium ERROR] TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object

[Tao Tse]

Hi,

I followed the guide here to fetch the chromium source code, tried several times, it always reports the error message below.

What's the problem?

Thanks!

Just a guess - make sure the depot_tools directory is the first in the PATH environmental variable, if you already had Python installed and in PATH.

Thank you very much!

How did you figure out the issue?

It was a weird error message and in was in Python. That usually means that an incompatible version is installed that returns unexpected values from certain functions.

Thank you!

I've checked my env settings, there's exactly a version of python installed, and its path was added before the depot_tools'.

I met almost the same problem today, I run 'fetch --nohooks webrtc' to download webrtc sources, but the script stop at 'TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object' error in the same python file.I check my 'PATH' environment virable and make sure that the 'depot_tools' path is the first one in 'PATH'.I run a 'Windows 7' host and I had downloaded webrtc sources successfully via depot tools about 3 months ago!Could someone give me some suggestion?

You must be using python3, use pyenv to install an old version(2.7) will fix this error.

[Shiladkumar Devaramani]

Hi,

I am also facing the same issue. Using  pyenv , I have installed the python version (2.7), still getting the same error. Please help me with this.
