Please note this bug is not related to Frappe/ERPNext, it is more of python modules misconfiguration/bug/issue.

You could try upgrading your current gitdb system installation to fix that, or remove the system wide installation altogether.

for bench specific version installation follow:

su - frappe
cd ~/frappe-bench/
source env/bin/activate
pip3 uninstall gitdb2 #updated
pip3 install --upgrade gitdb2==2.0.6 gitdb==0.6.4

ok i did as you written here, but still the same error

You might need to get rid of system wide installed package first.
If that doesn’t work, then please search on Internet for help, its known issue with python packages…

5

can you just mention a link i could follow to do so?
Thanks

I have edited my answer, please check above. redo all the steps.

7

still the same problem, do not know why, i made it env specific and made it normal (systemwide) and still the same error

8

any solution?

9

well, i just solved it today by first removing gitpython installation from inside the env

pip3 uninstall gitpython
pip3 install --upgrade gitpython==2.1.11

now to continue with your solution

pip3 uninstall gitdb2
pip3 install --upgrade gitdb2==2.0.6 gitdb==0.6.4

Thanks alot
