I can not use bench --version in my home/myusername folder but I can use that command in home/myusername/trial it works in that directory.

I use wsl ubuntu.

i got this error in home/myusername

Getting same error.

Did

 sudo pip3 uninstall bench
 sudo pip3 install git+https://github.com/frappe/bench.git@v5.22.9
 bench --version
 sudo pip3 uninstall bench
 sudo pip3 install git+https://github.com/frappe/bench.git@v5.18.0
 bench --version

for each bench --version, getting:

~$ bench --version
Traceback (most recent call last):

what could be the issue, and how solution be found?

if you have more than one bench that installed in your system, you have to use another folder for other branches. I solved it like that

hsrai · November 13, 2024, 9:30am

There is a single bench installed system wide.

enginc4n · November 13, 2024, 10:47am

i am not good at frappe but you can try to create a folder - the folder name is not that important- then you can try to call your frappe commands in that folder. That way my solution for that problem

hsrai · November 16, 2024, 6:13am

I removed system wise frappe-bench, and tried to install in virtual environment.

frappe@cc:~$ which bench
# Nothing in output, so bench is not installed.
frappe@cc:~$ bench
-bash: bench: command not found
frappe@cc:~$ python3 -m venv venvRai
frappe@cc:~$ source venvRai/bin/activate
(venvRai) frappe@cc:~$ pip3 install frappe-bench

It installled following packages:

(venvRai) frappe@cc:~$

But still faced the same issue:

(venvRai) frappe@cc:~$ which bench

(venvRai) frappe@cc:~$ bench init frappe-bench

and same for bench --version:


(venvRai) frappe@cc:~$ bench --version

    sys.exit(cli())

I created frapp-bench, and in that folder I did:

(venvRai) frappe@cc:~/frappe-bench$ pip3 install frappe

(venvRai) frappe@cc:~$ cd -

(venvRai) frappe@cc:~$ bench --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/frappe/venvRai/bin/bench", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(cli())

[i.e. same isue, outside frappe-bench folder]

Then I was able to do bench init:

(venvRai) frappe@cc:~/frappe-bench$ bench init fb
Setting Up Environment
$ python3 -m venv env
$ /home/frappe/frappe-bench/fb/env/bin/python -m pip install --quiet --upgrade pip
$ /home/frappe/frappe-bench/fb/env/bin/python -m pip install --quiet wheel
Getting frappe

Still I am not clear how it worked, and why it worked

If it works do not touch it
