sync_chromium.sh error

[AviFix]

Hi

When trying to run the sync script i get this error: cp: target '/home/***/Chromium/app/src/main/java' is not a directory

The problom seams to be this line of code: "mkdir -p ${MODULES_DIR}/components/{autofill,components_base,embedder_support}/src/main/res"

it creates the "src" folder as "{src" and also created a footer named "{java,res,aidl},libs}".

trying to run this specific command manually creates the right folders, but via the script i get the error I'm using android 16. i'm running the script like this: sh ./sync_chromium.sh

Thanks

Use bash ./sync_chromium.sh or ./sync_chromium.sh

[AviFix]

Running with bash solved this issue.

Now i'm getting this error "cp: cannot stat '/home/**/chromium/src/third_party/android_async_task/java/src/': No such file or directory".

Does this mean something went wrong with the "install-build-deps-android" process?

Thanks

It means the Chromium source changed, you need to modify the script.

[AviFix]

Could yo please help me out with this?

I'm not quite sure where to start

Thanks

[kuoruan]

Delete this line:

${BASE_DIR}/third_party/android_async_task/java/src/* \

and try agin.

The sync script in the repo is only for the project version. Current is 70.0.3538.118.

If you want to use it in other version. you need to update the script yourself.

[AviFix]

OK

Thanks

Hi

Could you help me out with the correct command for checking out the 70.0.3538.118 version?

I tried to run the following commands

• fetch --nohooks --no-history android

• git fetch --all --tags

• git checkout tags/70.0.3538.118 -b SOME_NAME

• gclient sync

After the last command i get this error:

src/native_client (ERROR)
----------------------------------------

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks

[kuoruan]

cd src/native_client
git fetch origin 9a87d6b9de35325efb08321640879e79ed0dfcc9
git checkout 9a87d6b9de35325efb08321640879e79ed0dfcc9

Hi,

Thanks.

It seams i'm still missing something.

Here are the steps i'm doing:

• mkdir ~/chromium && cd ~/chromium

• fetch --nohooks --no-history android

• cd src

• build/install-build-deps-android.sh

• cd src/native_client

• git fetch origin 9a87d6b9de35325efb08321640879e79ed0dfcc9

• git checkout 9a87d6b9de35325efb08321640879e79ed0dfcc9

• cd -

• gclient sync

• gclient runhooks

• gn gen --args='target_os="android" 'is_debug'=false 'is_official_build'=true 'enable_remoting'=true 'is_component_build'=false 'is_chrome_branded'=false 'use_official_google_api_keys'=false 'enable_resource_whitelist_generation'=true 'enable_nacl'=false 'proprietary_codecs'=true 'ffmpeg_branding'="Chrome" 'android_channel'="stable"' out/Default

• autoninja -C out/Default chrome_public_apk

After installing the APK i see the chromium version is 73.xxx, not 70.0.3538.118 as i expected.

What am i missing?

I really appreciate your help Thank

[AviFix]

@kuoruan Could you please help me out with this thing?

I could like to be able to complete the build and update processes.

Thanks

[kuoruan]

Go to https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+refs and choose a tag you want.

git fetch --depth 5 origin +refs/tags/#tag:#tag
git checkout #tag
gclient sync

Then:

gn gen --args='target_os="android"' out/Default
cd out/Default
vi args.gn

Add the compile args.

cd -
autoninja -C out/Default chrome_public_apk

Hi @kuoruan

I tryed to follow your instructions.

I ran this:

• etch --nohooks android

• cd src

• git fetch --depth 5 origin +refs/tags/70.0.3538.118:70.0.3538.118

• git checkout 70.0.3538.118

• gclient sync

I get the following error:

`Syncing projects: 95% (196/206) src/v8

Hi @kuoruan Sorry but i don't understand.

If you could please explain in more details.

I really appreciate your help

Thank's again Avi

[kuoruan]

It' a bug of gclient script (maybe?). If you sync error, just go to the dir in the error log. Run git fetch origin #hash && git checkout #hash. Then gclient sync again.

[AviFix]

Hi @kuoruan

This seems to solve this issue Thanks
