advises “simply upgrade to the latest version of either major version, i.e. 3.0.8 or 2.1.15”

Here’s how to do that:

after this also not able to update.

showing below messages

Ah yes my bad, the links below both suggest this:

pip install -U -e $(bench src)

https://discuss.frappe.io/t/bench-error-after-upgrade/58631/8

pip install --upgrade gitdb2==2.0.6 gitdb==0.6.4

I run above command to resolve the issues.

use this below command to solve

pip install --upgrade gitdb2==2.0.6 gitdb==0.6.4

I did
pip install --upgrade GitPython==2.1.15
pip install --upgrade gitdb2==2.0.6 gitdb==0.6.4

and solved the issue.

thanks @clarkej and @netmanthan

Hello guys
i have been trying to update using bench update, but i get this error ImportError: No module named ‘gitdb.utils.compat’
any help would be appreciated
Thanks

I did bench update but now it shows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 583, in _build_master
    ws.require(__requires__)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 900, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))

    raise VersionConflict(dist, req).with_context(dependent_req)
pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (GitPython 2.1.15 (/home/bench/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages), Requirement.parse('GitPython==2.1.11'), {'bench'})

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Every call on bench results in the same issue.

Does anyone know how to solve it?

what version do you have ?
if you don’t know write this command
bench version

there is threads about simller issue here maybe help

Seems like bench’s requirements are not updated.
Does pip install -U {path/to/bench-repo} help?

After running bench update, I got the same error when call bench.
Solved it by running python3 -m pip install GitPython==2.1.11

This command was also not working anymore.

I somehow managed by cleaning up my python installation.

Maybe this is happening because the bench-repo has GitPython==2.1.15 as a requirement whereas frappe has GitPython==2.1.11 as a requirement

Nope. bench’s dependencies are installed at system level while frappe’s requirements are installed in a virtual environment. Updating your system’s dependencies to match with the requirements.txt in bench should work.

As I previously mentioned in this thread, pip install -U -e $(bench src) should fix the issue.

Got it. Thanks

This does not solve the issue because while requirements.txt contains gitpython, it does not contain gitdb which is the real culprit. This will solve the issue:

 pip install --upgrade gitdb2==2.0.6 gitdb==0.6.4
