Update to v12.3.0 failed on pip3 command

Hi

I’m trying to do update today but failed on one of process.

Updating Python libraries…

If I run pip3 command manually, I got error
ERROR: Can not perform a ‘–user’ install. User site-packages are not visible in this virtualenv.

Please advise.
Thanks.

I’m using 12.x.x right now, BTW.

Update.

There is a workaround I found which is modify utils.py file in bench-repo/bench folder.
goto line 448, change user=True to user=False
after update finished, change back.

For me: This was caused by Gitpod/Ubuntu 20.04.1 setting environment PIP_USER=yes.
The workaround is to export PIP_USER=0

@hendy These seem to be different issues altogether. What @ithelpdesk faced back then was related to how bench managed requirements which has changed a lot since. The code you commented about on GitHub doesn’t exist in the codebase in v5.x
