GN fails for ChromeOS when using 'chrome_internal'

Project Member Reported by llozano@chromium.org, May 5 2016

Issue description


when doing 

 USE='gn build_tests chrome_internal afdo_use' emerge-x86-alex chromeos-chrome

I get the following error:

gn.py: Could not find gn executable at: /var/cache/chromeos-cache/distfiles/target/chrome-src-internal/buildtools/linux64/gn

This error does not happen if I dont use chrome_internal.

I'm not quite sure what's going on, but I strongly recommend we modify the ebuild scripts to invoke the correct GN binary directly (or via a wrapper that lives in the chromium checkout) rather than invoking things through the gn.py that lives in depot_tools, which is more provided for developer convenience.

That said, is it possible your chrome_internal flag is causing the build to not pick up GN the way we pick it normally

I believe this has been fixed ...
Status: Verified (was: Fixed)
yes, as far as I can tell. Not sure how it got fixed.
We switched to invoking the binary directly.
Something similar was reported in issue 588794

I'm not sure what exactly we changed here, but somehow this is still broken on the builders. Let's track the current failure on that (still open) issue.
