qmk setup command fails? #12455

Oi27 · 2021-04-01T17:13:41Z

While setting up the QMK environment with Msys2 on Windows, things installed correctly until the qmk setup command. It throws the error below. What does an import error mean and how can I fix it?
$ qmk setup Error: %s: %s ('ImportError', ImportError("cannot import name 'format_ansi' from 'milc' (D:/oi23/documents/qmk_toolbox/msys2/mingw64/lib/python3.8/site-packages/milc/__init__.py)")) Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:/oi23/documents/qmk_toolbox/msys2/mingw64/lib/python3.8/site-packages/qmk_cli/script_qmk.py", line 99, in main import qmk.cli # noqa File "D:/oi23/Documents/QMK_Toolbox/qmk_firmware/lib/python/qmk/cli/__init__.py", line 13, in <module> from . import doctor File "D:/oi23/Documents/QMK_Toolbox/qmk_firmware/lib/python/qmk/cli/doctor.py", line 12, in <module> from qmk.questions import yesno File "D:/oi23/Documents/QMK_Toolbox/qmk_firmware/lib/python/qmk/questions.py", line 4, in <module> from milc import cli, format_ansi ImportError: cannot import name 'format_ansi' from 'milc' (D:/oi23/documents/qmk_toolbox/msys2/mingw64/lib/python3.8/site-packages/milc/__init__.py)

Make sure your repo is up to date. qmk setup is calling some CLI code in qmk_firmware which tries to import format_ansi from MILC, but that function doesn't exist anymore.

Make sure your repo is up to date. qmk setup is calling some CLI code in qmk_firmware which tries to import format_ansi from MILC, but that function doesn't exist anymore.

Updating it worked partially - now it begins to install, says there are missing packages, and asks to install them. Saying yes seems to freeze the program - not that it doesn't respond, but it doesn't do anything and says it's working on stuff when you go to close it. Here's the output below:
$ qmk setup

WARNING QMK home does not appear to be a Git repository! (no .git folder)

Indicates you downloaded the .zip file from GitHub, rather than letting qmk setup clone the repository. This won't work as it doesn't contain the .git folder which is needed to pull down the submodules.

Make sure everything you want to keep in there is backed up, then delete the qmk_firmware folder and run qmk setup again.

Make sure everything you want to keep in there is backed up, then delete the qmk_firmware folder and run qmk setup again.

Allowing it to set up its own repository fixed that error, but the dependencies are having trouble installing themselves. It asks if I'd like to, yes, and then it hangs up. It doesn't throw an error or anything; it just sits doing nothing until you close the window. Here's the output:
$ qmk setup

fauxpark · 2021-04-04T09:32:31Z

This line:

INFO Detected Windows.

should be a little more detailed now, so your repo is not quite up to date.

python3 -m pip install -U qmk will also update the CLI Python package if it is outdated.

Oi27 · 2021-04-04T22:51:36Z

Updating the CLI Python package didn't change anything, so I did a fresh install and QMK is up and running after putting the MingW64.exe into the QMK_MSYS folder. Thank you for the help!

cartazio · 2021-04-18T18:32:59Z

i'm seeing the same issue on OSX with the brew install method, my current theory is that somehow the brew / pip based install paths on mac have some env leakage, so i'm trying out the nix shell on my computer to see if that works

fauxpark · 2021-04-19T02:20:05Z

@cartazio your repo is out of date, as mentioned earlier. The Python code in the qmk_firmware repo is expecting one of the dependencies (MILC) of the QMK CLI Python package to have a function named format_ansi(), however this has since been refactored and neither MILC nor qmk_firmware refer to it anymore. I can see your CLI version is 0.0.45 which is the latest as of this comment, so the issue is on the qmk_firmware end.

If you have not committed to your master branch you can simply run git pull from the qmk_firmware directory.

cartazio · 2021-04-19T02:34:49Z

Yup I realized that later today and got stuff mostly working. ;)
My confusion was due to a friend wanting me to use his qmk branch for some patches and thus the discrepancy hit me

cartazio · 2021-04-19T02:34:57Z

Thx!

OBenjaminT · 2021-06-01T20:35:07Z

I have the same problem in WSL. The qmk cli was installed just before. It's also the thing cloning the repo.

@OBenjaminT this is a different problem, you need to install hidapi.

OBenjaminT · 2021-06-02T11:27:34Z

Thanks, I did that, then had some other problems but existing issues already answered those.

Replying to a closed issue is not the way to seek help.

It would be better to come and ask questions on the QMK discord server, or post a new issue with your specific problem.
