i need help

What often helps is to reset base packages to current with this:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

thanks

I read this document, but I don’t know how to fix this error

Either of these may resolve your package dependency conflict:

cd ${HOME}/frappe-bench
./env/bin/pip install PyYAML==3.13

or alternatively this:

bench setup requirements

For reference I have this:

frappe@ubuntu:~/frappe-bench$ ./env/bin/pip list packages | grep PyYAML
PyYAML 3.13
frappe@ubuntu:~/frappe-bench$ bench version
erpnext 12.4.3
frappe 12.2.1

On updating to
ERPNext: v12.7.0 (version-12)

Frappe Framework: v12.5.0 (version-12)
Error reappeared, had not occurred on previous updates. Not sure if regression.

ERROR: frontmatter 3.0.5 has requirement PyYAML==3.13, but you’ll have pyyaml 5.3.1 which is incompatible

There’s a conflict between PyYAML requirement fo frontmatter and frappe 12.5.0. Frontmatter requires 3.0.5 while frappe 12.5.0 requires 5.3.1.

@tonto @flexy2ky

the frontmatter dependency has been removed from frappe. It’s safe to re-generate your env and setup python requirements to drop dead requirements or simply uninstall it via bench pip uninstall frontmatter

frontmatter uninstalled successfully. How do i regenerate my env?

@flexy2ky

From your bench directory root,

  1. rm -rf env
  2. bench setup env
  3. bench setup requirements --python
