Hello @kolotayo

Can you share more details ? I didn’t understand which steps you are followed and getting error.

Thanks

Can you also share your frappe version and the command/s that you executed?

By the way, is there an app with a similar name in you apps/ folder?

Thanks

bench new-app crook
and i follow the prompt

App Title (default: Crook): Crook
App Description: To Setup Customer Details
App Publisher: frappe
App Email: tayo@creed.com
App Icon (default ‘octicon octicon-file-directory’):
App Color (default ‘grey’):
App License (default ‘MIT’): MIT

The Error pops up immediately after this line as below;

‘crook’ created at /home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/crook
INFO:bench.app:installing crook
INFO:bench.utils:./env/bin/pip install -q -e ./apps/crook --no-cache-dir

@kolotayo

I think the correct command should be bench new-app app_name or in your case:

bench new-app crook

Before you try it again, you might want to delete the crook folder in apps/ and remove crook if it’s in the apps.txt file located at frappe-bench/sites.

This is the same command i used.
bench new-app crook

And i have tried creating a new app with different name but the same error.
i dont know why its like this but i created an App myself last week and its working fine.

9

Did you run bench update before today? Can we know the bench, frappe and erpnext branches and versions?

Hi @kolotayo,

I had the same symptoms when trying to create a new app last week in a current (v10.1 master) version in a develop instance. When I created the app on a production instance, it worked fine.

Are you using a develop or production instance?

11

i am using Develop Instance.
But i have been creating apps on it which works perfectly

12

Yes i Ran bench update twice yesterday before creating the new App
Frappe: v10.1.32
ErpNext: v10.1.34

13

Are you on develop branch? If yes, can you try switching to the Master Branch to check if it fixes the problem?

14

I had also this issue and I see in setup.py file generated in my app a line with a \n parsed

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

instead of

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

I think it’s in line 275 from frappe/utils/boilerplate.py

with open('requirements.txt') as f:
install_requires = f.read().strip().split('\\n')

But I’m not sure so if a developer could try it since it seems no buggy here.

Regards

After checking in master branch the line 273 is :

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

So here is the bug.
