All bench commands failing on CentOS7 as bench reverted back from python3 to python2.7

adityaduggal · May 29, 2020, 12:16pm

Hi,
I don’t know if its an issue with bench or with centos7 update. But when I updated my production server which is running centos7 I think the bench is now messed up.

Basically when I run any command from bench its failing as below:

[rigpl@www frappe-bench]$ bench --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bench", line 6, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3191, in <module>
    @_call_aside
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3175, in _call_aside
    f(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3204, in _initialize_master_working_set
    working_set = WorkingSet._build_master()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 585, in _build_master
    return cls._build_from_requirements(__requires__)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 598, in _build_from_requirements
    dists = ws.resolve(reqs, Environment())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 786, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'requests==2.22.0' distribution was not found and is required by bench

Now if you see that the bench is trying to look into requests for python2.7 whereas AFAIK the system was setup to refer to python3.6, since both python2.7 and python3.6 are installed on centos7 I cannot seem to figure out how can I rectify this issue, eventhough my production server is running but it seems I cannot use bench commands to update or anything.

[rigpl@www frappe-bench]$ python --version
Python 2.7.5
[rigpl@www frappe-bench]$ python3 --version
Python 3.6.8

I have tried the below commands but to no avail:

[rigpl@www frappe-bench]$ pip3 install -e bench-repo
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: bench-repo is not a valid editable requirement. It should either be a path to a local project or a VCS URL (beginning with svn+, git+, hg+, or bzr+).

Any idea as to how can I get the bench commands to work again.

try if this works,

Uninstall bench

sudo pip uninstall bench

reinstall bench with pip3

sudo pip3 install -e ./path/to/bench-repo

Use sudo or execute commands as root.

Well I did try this below but still I am unable to run any bench command from inside the frappe-bench folder.

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'requests==2.22.0' distribution was not found and is required by bench

adityaduggal · June 1, 2020, 5:45am

Well just found a workaround. I had checked the file /usr/bin/bench and edited the file to use python3.6 instead of python2

#!/usr/bin/python3.6
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'bench','console_scripts','bench'
__requires__ = 'bench'
import re
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(
        load_entry_point('bench', 'console_scripts', 'bench')()
    )

Changed the first line from python2 to python3.6, but now I am getting the issue that bench is installed in editable mode, now I need to figure out how to change that for a production server:

[rigpl@www frappe-bench]$ bench --version
WARN: bench is installed in editable mode!

This is not the recommended mode of installation for production. Instead, install the package from PyPI with: `pip install frappe-bench`

5.1.0

I did run the command sudo pip3.6 install -e ./bench-repo but still the bench is installed in the editable mode.

Using pip install -e ./bench-repo installs the bench from the locally cloned bench-repo directory. That is called the editable mode. Because you can edit the bench source code and it’ll reflect when bench command is executed. It is recommended if you’re developing bench itself or sending PR to bench repo.

If pip install frappe-bench is used, it’ll pull the pypi package and install it. You’ll not be able to do bench development. Recommended when you know editing bench is not required.

adityaduggal · June 3, 2020, 1:42pm

Still can’t seem to get around the correct installation for bench I am still in editable mode and I guess some time there are issues with bench update due to this mode I guess for some file permissions like deleting the pycache files and since its my production server I cannot seem to find a way to get the bench to behave.

I have tried the following:

[rigpl@www ~]$ ls
bench-repo  frappe-bench  install.py 
[rigpl@www frappe-bench]$ bench --help | grep install

[rigpl@www ~]$ pip3.6 --version
pip 20.1.1 from /home/rigpl/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)

I think the problem is that I am or should I say my production server is confused as to which pip should I use since which pip is showing python version 2.7 usr/bin files but on checking the version the pip is pointing towards python3.6

Any idea how can I resolve this issue, if its an issue at all.

Hello, i came to this post because I am facing the same problem.

When using pip install frappe-bench , bench is not installed. Instead, this is shown:

And bench is not installed. That is why I needed to clone the repository. How can I install bench without the need to clone the repository?

Regards
Jaime

the easy install scripts install bench in editable mode even though --production is used. How to uninstall bench and reinstall as non editable?

sudo pip uninstall bench gives WARNING: Skipping bench as it is not installed.

revant_one · December 3, 2020, 2:01pm

uninstall bench,

pip uninstall bench

Install bench,

pip install frappe-bench

If it doesn’t work, use sudo, That’s common practice.

The problem is

sudo pip uninstall bench
gives

WARNING: Skipping bench as it is not installed.

What is the output of
bench src

When I was facing this issue I had to manually go and remove the bench files from the
So my bench src yielded are reply as below:

/home/aditya/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages

Now since its my local account its showing that bench is installed under python3.8 but in my production server I had CentOS 7 where bench src showed that I had bench under python2 instead of python3 and hence i had to manually remove the bench and its references in python2 after that

I installed bench with below commands:

# check the version of python with the following command.
sudo -H python --version
sudo -H python3 -m --version
sudo -H python3 -m pip --version
# Only install frappe-bench from python3 or above version not in python2.7 or lower since python2 is not officially supported

sudo -H python3 -m pip install frappe-bench
# basically we are telling the OS to specifically use python3 pip to install frappe-bench or bench-repo

The above steps did resolve my issue and I hope it does help you as well.
