A Python exception occurred during the execution of autopkg, see the system log for more details. [ERROR] AttributeError: module 'autopkglib.prefs' has no attribute 'prefs'.

Any advice will be welcomed,

Hello,

Could you share what you were doing when you saw this error? Which specific recipe was running at the time? What do you see in your log output? What other troubleshooting steps have you tried?

Thank you,

Elliot

Hello Elliot,

Thanks for your help,

i was trying to install this recipe : https://github.com/autopkg/recipes.git

i don't really know where to find the logs.

i've uninstalled Autopkgr and reinstalled but same error.

Thanks

That URL points to a repository, so you were probably trying to add the repo instead of run a particular recipe. Whenever AutoPkgr produces an error, it's usually helpful to remove the UI from the equation and try the AutoPkg command line tool directly. So, what happens when you run this in Terminal?

autopkg repo-add https://github.com/autopkg/recipes.git

What version of AutoPkg and Python do you have installed?

/usr/local/bin/autopkg version

/usr/local/autopkg/python --version

Have you tried reinstalling the latest stable release of AutoPkg (as of now, that's 2.7.2)?

Hello Elliot,

I already have the 2.7.2 installed manually but autopkgr keep telling me there an update.

Even if I do the update via autopkgr.

Thanks

Again, it's useful to keep AutoPkgr out of this. The error you're encountering appears to be reproducible outside of AutoPkgr, so involving AutoPkgr may only confuse the discovery of the root cause.

Please try these steps in order:

1. Install AutoPkg 2.7.2 (not using AutoPkgr).

2. Run `autopkg repo-add recipes`

3. Try running a recipe: `autopkg run -vv FirefoxSignedPkg.download`

If those don't work, please open an issue on the AutoPkg issues page with details about your issue, OS version, and other facts. Thank you,

Elliot
