ManifestImportFailed object has no attribute 'filename'

Here is the error I get when running west status :

Same issue when issuing the west list command for instance. I expected to get a friendly error message instead. I am using West version: v0.13.1.

Maybe a duplicate of

• #579?

Please note that I have installed the toolchain using the nRF Connect Toolchain Manager (fully automated automation with default settings). I am running west from the toolchain folder using Git Bash on Windows.

MINGW64 /c/ncs/v2.0.0
$ which west
/opt/bin/Scripts/west
$ west --version
West version: v0.13.1

It is maybe related to file permissions and user id, but I am not using Docker here.

Same issue when running west from a freshly created Python env:

$ python --version
Python 3.10.5

$ which python
/c/Users/miaou/.pyenv/pyenv-win/versions/3.10.5/python

$ pip list --local

Can anyone help me?

Forget Docker, it's apparently possible to configure (complex) Windows file permissions in a way that is incompatible with git.

• https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/west/issues/558#issuecomment-993781422

To be on the safe side can you please try this, see whether it fails:

cd C:\ncs\dev\bkbx
git init w558
cd w558
git remote add origin -- https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr.git
git fetch origin --tags -- zephyr-v2.7.0 'refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
del .git\objects\pack\*

Hello @marc-hb, thank you for your message.

I get an "Access is denied." error, same as in https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/west/issues/558#issuecomment-994298453. I did this test using cmd, but I do use Git Bash.

[marc-hb]

OK so you have a strange Windows file permission issue that makes your system incompatible with git - without west being involved at all. Maybe west could detect and report this better but there's nothing west can do to fix it.

If you find what this file permission issue please share it here, it will be useful for other users and it could also help west provide a better error message.
