Python path is incorrect during install

[jpitz31]

Describe the bug.

during install of fbt vscode_dist, my virus protection stopped the install process. I stopped my virus protection and attempted to run fbt vscode_dist --clean

see below error:

If I delete the flipperzero-firmware folder and re git clone --recursive, and then try to run fbt vscode_dist I get the same error.

I now cannot install the tool chain using fbt vscode_dist (see below)

(there is no toolchain folder under the flipperzero-firmware folder.) searching for this error it recommends to unset PYTHONHOME env variable, it is not set in my environment, but is being set by the vscode_dist process.

(fbt) C:\FlipperFW\flipperzero-firmware>fbt vscode_dist Python path configuration: PYTHONHOME = 'C:\FlipperFW\flipperzero-firmware\toolchain\x86_64-windows\python' PYTHONPATH = (not set) program name = 'python' isolated = 0 environment = 1 user site = 0 safe_path = 0 import site = 1 is in build tree = 0 stdlib dir = 'C:\FlipperFW\flipperzero-firmware\toolchain\x86_64-windows\python\Lib' sys._base_executable = 'C:\Users\Joe Pitz\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python.exe' sys.base_prefix = 'C:\FlipperFW\flipperzero-firmware\toolchain\x86_64-windows\python' sys.base_exec_prefix = 'C:\FlipperFW\flipperzero-firmware\toolchain\x86_64-windows\python' sys.platlibdir = 'DLLs' sys.executable = 'C:\Users\Joe Pitz\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python.exe' sys.prefix = 'C:\FlipperFW\flipperzero-firmware\toolchain\x86_64-windows\python' sys.exec_prefix = 'C:\FlipperFW\flipperzero-firmware\toolchain\x86_64-windows\python' sys.path = [ 'C:\Users\Joe Pitz\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python312.zip', 'C:\FlipperFW\flipperzero-firmware\toolchain\x86_64-windows\python\DLLs', 'C:\FlipperFW\flipperzero-firmware\toolchain\x86_64-windows\python\Lib', 'C:\Users\Joe Pitz\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312', ] Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding Python runtime state: core initialized ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

Reproduction

Using avast virus protection.

run the install fbt vscode_dist

virus protection stops the install of libwinpthread-1.dll

delete flipperzero-firmware and re git clone -- recursive

attempt to run fbt vscode_dist --clean

throws the above error

Target

No response

Anything else?

let me know if you need anything else.

When dealing with borked toolchain configuration, just remove "toolchain" directory completely.

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/31c54186ac2aaa41a420fa78f7ff97a34e8d71e3e1dafe20b274e3ade4c1575a?nocache=1 - this is Virustotal result (0/71) for libwinpthread-1.dll from toolchain v32, in branch https://github.com/flipperdevices/flipperzero-firmware/pull/3451.

Could you please check with that branch and confirm the exact offending file?

Hey hedger, toolchain folder was not there in the first place. I have removed entire firmware and re-cloned, error still exits. Let me know how to check for the offending file?

FYI this install was on a windows 11 box.

Thanks

Joe

@jpitz31 please try running fbt from powershell. Running it in CMD contaminates execution environment after failed environment setup or toolchain installation, breaking commands after it.

Also provide full log from running fbt after deleting toolchain folder.

Hedger, removed the firmware folder and re-cloned -- recursive I then loaded a power shell and ran ./fbt Upon completion I received the following error: Mode LastWriteTime Length Name

scons: *** Toolchain version is not supported. Allowed: (' 12.3.', ' 13.2.'), toolchain: Stop.

At this point I cannot run ./fbt as I get the same error as show above.

No log files were created.

Thanks Joe

@jpitz31 we've merged multiple fixes and improvements for the toolchain, could you please check out latest dev and see if your issue was resolved?

Hey Hedger, I tried the new build, several times,

It should work now, please re-open if you experience any issues with Python with code in current dev branch.
