problem building theh project. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'jinja2'

[elektron314]

After yesterday update of some tools in pip3 and brew I lost a possibility to build any projects of our device firmware. Any previously working commits doesn't build now. I even made the same setup on my second macbook.

Install everything that is necessary to develop
Automatic installation + Manual installatioin according to this and this

Create a folder in ~ for our project, e.g. ~/biig-fw-ws

I do this:
west init -m github.com/.../biig-fw ~/biig-fw-ws
cd ~/biig-fw-ws
west update
west build -b bvmb_cpuapp_ns -- -DBOARD_ROOT=/Users/el314biig/biig-fw-ws/biig-fw/

And it says that I don't have jinja2. I have already checked it. It exists and work from python.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/el314biig/biig-fw-ws/modules/tee/tf-m/trusted-firmware-m/tools/tfm_parse_manifest_list.py", line 14, in <module>

I can share west -vvv log file as well.

Hi,

Please open the terminal via the Toolchain manager app, then try to build the project again from that terminal to see if it works. The toolchain manager will set the system PATHs so that the python interpreter, CMake, + other build tools are picked up from the toolchain installation instead.

Best regards,

Vidar

Ok, Done as you said.
New error:

-- west build: generating a build system
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (cmake_minimum_required):
CMake 3.21 or higher is required. You are running version 3.20.5

Our FW is based on the SDK 2.1.2 So I run from it. Same error btw if I'm running it from the terminal from SDK 2.2.0

[elektron314]

Ha! I have changed our minimum requirements to 3.20.5 and it's building! (only inside Toolchain terminal)
But how to fix that issue outside of Toolchain manager terminal?

[Vidar Berg]

I don't understand where this version requirement for CMake is coming from. The SDK is supposed to support v.3.20.5 as you can see from the table here:  https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.3.0/nrf/getting_started/recommended_versions.html#required-tools

Is this in your CMakeLists.txt file?

[elektron314]

Yes, that's our CMakeLists.txt file. I'm super noob so I just discovered that this is not standard. But anyway. That can be rewritten.

I'm still struggling with jinja2 problem today.
