you need to sync

This is immediately after a "fetch infra".  gclient sync fails when running install_cipd_packages.py.

oh, I thought you were running the build repo's bootstrap. Just a sec.

Yeah this is busted :(

Talking on chat, removing '+EXE_SFX' doesn't work either (because subprocess doesn't know how to go hunt %PATH% x %PATHEXT% to find the client). There are two possibilities:

  * use 'shell=True' in the subprocess invocation (blech)
  * hunt for either cipd.exe or cipd.bat in the code

Unfortunately, I suspect this bug ALSO affects recipes: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools/+/master/recipe_modules/cipd/api.py#22

But since no one ran recipes on windows with depot_tools in PATH since last week when this bug was introduced, no one found it yet.

This should be fully fixed now.

Awesome, thanks!
