Thanks for your response,
Actually i am not getting what steps to take.
Do this mean that i have to change some things in setup.py of the app?
my setup.py file is like this:

from setuptools import setup, find_packages
import re, ast

with open(‘requirements.txt’) as f:
install_requires = f.read().strip().split(’
')

_version_re = re.compile(r’version\s+=\s+(.*)')

with open(‘wit_education_app/init.py’, ‘rb’) as f:
version = str(ast.literal_eval(_version_re.search(
f.read().decode(‘utf-8’)).group(1)))

setup(
name=‘wit_education_app’,
version=version,
description=‘WIT Education Customizations’,
author=‘WIT’,
author_email=‘mtajammul@wit.edu.sa’,
packages=find_packages(),
zip_safe=False,
include_package_data=True,
install_requires=install_requires
)

Wait for the changes to be merge and then run an update using bench update.

This would be the best way moving forward.

6

Got you :+1:

What is expected merge time?

7

No definite merge. Could get merged today itself. Just follow the PR sent.

8

should be

install_requires = f.read().strip().split('\n')
9

Merged a fix. Please pull latest updates.

10

Thanks for updating. I think its only merged with development branch.

I have same issue while creating new app. I have latest version of ERPNext and Frappe

I have resolved this error by just run bench setup requirements command. Thanks @rohit_w .
