Not able to build a project using kde-builder in Kde-neon

I am trying to build print-manager using kde-builder, now i have done this more than 50 times before and it has always worked.

But, now it is giving a new error that I have not seen before, and i am not sure that if there is some issue on my end or kde-builder source code.

I have also tried to update the kde-builder as mention in the documentation(2.1. Installation and initial configuration — KDE Builder documentation)

How to fix this?

@Ashark any idea?

Thanks for notification.
I forgot to update the variable name in MR81 after rebasing.
Fixed now.

I think there is still some error because now i am getting these errors.

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

Basically i can see two problems -

  1. Unable to perform git fetch for origin (kde:sysadmin/repo-metadata) : this one might be an error on my end but I did not find any, So I am not sure.
  2. ‘NoneType’ object is not subscriptable : this one is, i believe, an error in kde-builder source code.

FYI: I used this snippet to update my kde-builder, if it helps.

cd ~
curl 'https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kde-builder/-/raw/master/scripts/initial_setup.sh?ref_type=heads' > initial_setup.sh
bash initial_setup.sh

Something wrong with metadata. Try kde-builder --metadata-only.

Still it does work ( i also tried kde-builder --self-update).

tarun@tarun-virtualbox:~$ kde-builder --metadata-only

Go to ~/.local/state/sysadmin-repo-metadata/, do git status, and see why you cannot fetch changes from remote.

8

There are a lot of modified files which are not staged for commit in that dir, so do i push them or stash them? I don’t even know how they got modified.

9

If you do not know, you do not need them. Try git reset --hard.

10

No even this does not solves the problem. I am still getting the same error on running kde-builder --metadata-only.

i also tried git fetch inside ~/.local/state/sysadmin-repo-metadata/
and i got this (if it helps)

tarun@tarun-virtualbox:~/.local/state/sysadmin-repo-metadata$ git pull

This problem is not related to KDE Builder.
You can google how to solve this error. But you can just remove the whole ~/.local/state/sysadmin-repo-metadata directory. KDE Builder will redownload (clone) this repo itself at next run, and problem will go away.
