subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['zap-cli', '--version']' returned non-zero exit status 2.

hi

I encountered the following issues while compiling the matter project using nrf52840.

I checked the ZAP CLI command and it doesn't seem to have the - version parameter

Hi,

To try and exclude a couple of causes, could you answer the following?

1. Which SDK are you using? If it is nRF Connect SDK, have you made any modifications to the SDK?
2. Are you building an unmodified sample? If so: Which sample are you building?
3. If you have made any modifications, could you explain the changes you've made so we can try to recreate it?

Kind regards,
Andreas

We don’t see this error when using our samples. Are you using a sample from zephyr or from project chip? Can you try with a light switch sample from nRF Connect SDK instead and see if they see the same issue? The switch sampel can be found here:

• https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/matter/light_switch/README.html
• https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/tree/main/samples/matter/light_switch

Do note that you need to build this with nRF Connect SDK to ensure its working. Both links are for the latest version of NCS.

If you do see the same issue, then it might be due to other factors related to chip/zap-tool installation.

You are correct that there does not exist a “zap-cli –version”, which is also stated by the error you observe when building. I believe that the project they are using uses this sub build command, or that this command has added this call to your build chain somewhere.  

Kind regards,

Thank you very much. Although I am not sure what caused it, I reset the environment and the problem did not occur again.

Glad to hear that you got it to work by reinstalling the environment

Kind regards,
Andreas
