Error while building cef: LASTCHANGE.committime file missing

Postby ananyo2012 » Tue Sep 25, 2018 7:35 am

Hi all,

I am facing some error while building the master branch of CEF. I followed the instructions on https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... ckStart.md. But after running create.bat I am getting this error after the patches get applied

Code: Select all
Generating CEF project files...

I tried to search on it a bit and saw there was a recent bug in chromium filed for this https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/is ... ?id=875039. Though it says it is resolved, the error still occurs. I have that change in my chromium code. I tried running `gclient runhooks` but it fails due to some issue. Is there anything that needs to be changed in gclient_hook.py for this ?

Some help regarding this will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ananyo

What was the first error/failure that you got while downloading CEF/Chromium?

I didn't get any error while downloading CEF/Chromium. This was when I tried to run create.bat. After the patches were applied it threw this error. It is being used in lastchange.py , but the file is missing. Supposedly this should be generated before running the gn command but it isn't generated.

run command: python src\build\util\lastchange.py -o LASTCHANGE

Reply from asmasm is a correct answer.
You can go to cd C:\code\chromium_git\chromium\src\build\util and run this command : python lastchange.py -o LASTCHANGE
The file LASTCHANGE.committime will be generated and you can go back to 'create.bat' step

gclient sync or runhooks will do that for you.
