How to update bench 5.0 to 5.x?

Tej · August 23, 2021, 3:35am

Hi, I have ERPNext from v8, migrated to v11 in 2018, and to v12 in 2019. I am having issue on lets encrypt and may want to migrate to v13, so I want to make everything up to date.
Now my bench is stuck on version 5.0.0

frappe@localhost:~/frappe-bench$ bench --version
5.0.0

I tried to install bench using pip install frappe-bench using frappe user but no result.
as mentioned on the bench v5.0 release note I have to remove any editable install, but I don’t find any guide to remove bench.

Is there a guide to update bench from 5.0 to 5.x?

Here is install from pip console:

frappe@localhost:~/frappe-bench$ pip3 install --upgrade frappe-bench

This is most likely a $PATH issue. You can figure out which version of bench is running by typing which bench. It’s a good bet that you have a second install not under management by pip3.

Tej · August 23, 2021, 3:54am

yes, it is still called from /usr/local/bin/bench

frappe@localhost:~/frappe-bench$ which bench
/usr/local/bin/bench

do you mind to tell me where the PATH is? Also I will highly appreciate on how to change the PATH.

peterg · August 23, 2021, 4:12am

$PATH is a variable that linux systems use to decide execution priorities for different disk locations. You can view it via the command echo $PATH, and it gets created by your shell on login.

/usr/local/bin/bench would be a normal place for pip3 to install. The question is where pip is actually installing. What output do you get from pip3 show frappe-bench?

Tej · August 23, 2021, 4:24am

Thank you for quick reply, highly appreciated.
Here is the result

frappe@localhost:~/frappe-bench$ pip3 show frappe-bench
Name: frappe-bench
Version: 5.5.0
Summary: Metadata driven, full-stack web framework
Home-page: UNKNOWN
Author: Frappe Technologies
Author-email: info@frappe.io
License: UNKNOWN
Location: /home/frappe/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages
Requires: python-crontab, GitPython, honcho, requests, Jinja2, Click, semantic-version, virtualenv, setuptools

and here is echo $PATH

frappe@localhost:~/frappe-bench$  echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

This is one aspect of why manual installs are so challenging. Each distro does things slightly differently, so it’s tough to troubleshoot. It’s worth considering a containerized install if you can.

I don’t have a great understanding of pip or how it manages package paths, but the problem is clear. Your system is setup to run bench globally from /usr, but pip3 is installing it to the user’s /home directory. I would try uninstalling and then reinstalling (via pip). Otherwise, you can always specify the bench path manually. It’s probably something like /home/frappe/.local/bin/bench.

Tej · August 24, 2021, 3:19am

I am completely agree. In my country’s ERPnext community, I already suggested everyone who asked on how to install to use docker container instead of install script/manual install.

You said that you are not expert in $PATH, I hope others can help.

I can run bench from specified location

frappe@localhost:~$ bench --version
WARN: Command not being executed in bench directory
5.0.0
frappe@localhost:~$ ./.local/bin/bench --version
WARN: Command not being executed in bench directory
5.5.0

and I see that I may have to select $PATH from .profile file here

frappe@localhost:~$ cat .profile
# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.

# the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask
# for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package.
#umask 022

# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
    # include .bashrc if it exists
    if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
	. "$HOME/.bashrc"
    fi
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
fi

All looks normal, and I can see PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" but bench still called from /usr/local/bin/bench

It doesn’t look like the .profile is being read, which is consistent with what the comment says at the top. You could always add your home path to .bash_profile, or just use the full path to invoke bench. It’s hard to say what exactly would be the best practice here, since each distro does things a bit differently (and I’m no expert in any of them).

If I were in your shoes, I’d probably just add my home binary directory to path in .bash_profile.

I have to ssh directly to frappe user, not from other user that su ed to frappe user.
