Hi,

I am trying to create new app using bench new-app custom_app command. But failed with following error.

Command “python setup.py egg_info” failed with error code 1 in /home/pirate/frappe-bench/apps/custom_app/
Traceback (most recent call last):

But bench get-app command works properly.

I also updated bench also.

Can you share the full command and trace?

littlehera · May 25, 2018, 9:46am

Did something change in the frappe source code?
Someone also posted here that there were problems on creating a new app after running bench update twice.

Vidyadhar_Pendurkar · May 25, 2018, 10:02am

Removed frappe-bench. Then reinstalled. Now able to create app. But still no idea why was not able to create app in first place.

littlehera · May 28, 2018, 2:33am

User shared that it might have something to do with:

install_requires = f.read().strip().split('\n')

Rico_Nova · May 28, 2018, 7:30am

yah i also have the some problem when i make new app…
after make new app, i open the setup.py inside my app folder. i change this line

install_requires = f.read().strip().split(’
')

to

install_requires = f.read().strip().split(‘\n’)

and i copy paste and run this line at my cmd
./env/bin/pip install -q -e ./apps/custom_app --no-cache-dir

then the apps works normally for me…

i thought the \n at .split(“\n”) treated as enter when make new app

kolotayo · May 28, 2018, 11:40am

After running the command at my Terminal i got the error below;

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

Any Idea why?

Thank You.

jodeq · May 28, 2018, 11:44am

You should try a git init in your app directory ./apps/custom_app

Later you could add an origin with git to upload it in your server repository like github or gitlab or any other server.

kolotayo · May 28, 2018, 11:50am

Seriously i dont understand this. I am kinda new here.

Can you give a Step by Step guide on how to do this Please i would really Appreciate

jodeq · May 28, 2018, 11:53am

cd ./apps/custom_app
git init
cd ../..
./env/bin/pip install -q -e ./apps/custom_app --no-cache-dir

custom_app must be the directory of your app

I didn’t test theses commands already.

kolotayo · May 28, 2018, 12:35pm

i followed the steps and still i cant create a new app successful and even the last one i am trying to create is not working. Same error

Command “python setup.py egg_info” failed with error code 1 in /home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/crook/

Any idea please.

littlehera · May 29, 2018, 7:45am

Can you share your pip version?

Rico_Nova · May 29, 2018, 8:11am

@kolotayo

i solved this 1 by :

i open file setup.py inside your new app module
i saw this code not correct
step 1

i fixed the code to :
step 2

after that, i copy this ./env/bin/pip install -q -e ./apps/crook --no-cache-dir
to my ssh at frappe-bench folder and enter

after that i put the new module name inside
/home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites/apps.txt

step 4

and i install the module to the site i want to install it… install like usual with bench --site [sitename] install-app [appname]
and its work for me

kolotayo · May 30, 2018, 7:28am

This works very fine for me and i can see my app.
But will i have to always do this each time i am creating a new app?

I just tried to create a new-app now and i got the same error after going through the process it worked again

Any Idea Please?

littlehera · June 14, 2018, 9:33am

I think the newest update should fix it.
Try running bench update and creating a new app to check if the problem has been solved.
