bench.utils.CommandFailedError: ./env/bin/pip install -q -e ./apps/patches.txt

Hello;

Since long time, I am using bench update --reset and it is working fine.
Now the current erpnext and frappe versions as below:

ERPNext: v10.1.77 (master)

Frappe Framework: v10.1.68 (master)

And I am facing the following error when doing bench update --reset:

./apps/patches.txt should either be a path to a local project or a VCS url beginning with svn+, git+, hg+, or bzr+

bench.utils.CommandFailedError: ./env/bin/pip install -q -e ./apps/patches.txt

I removed the patches.txt file but the bench update --reset is creating it again and the error is coming again. It seems that this patches.txt file is important.

So what is the problem? Is it bug and we have to wait patch?
Is it because version 11 is currently the master version or still not yet?

does your env has any app custom app ? anything other than frappe/erpnext?

Yes I have custom application but I was doing upgrade and they are existed and I was not face any trouble.
But is there difference between having custom application and having them in the env?
If I removed the custom application, I will lose my database?
So what is the solution?

By the way: this problem can be resolved by deleting the patches.txt at ./app/patches.txt but is that the proper solution?

My understanding is it is fine as patches.txt is anyway empty for custom app.
For me making changes to setup.py inside old custom app worked as pip version is changed. Sol

try to run the command without flag like :

./env/bin/pip install -q ./apps/patches.txt
./env/bin/pip install ./apps/patches.txt

then see what the error
