qt5-qtwebengine: Unable to open port: invalid command name "compiler_blacklist_versions._get_compiler_version"

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Must be a typo somewhere:

$ sudo port upgrade qt5-qtwebengine
Error: Unable to open port: invalid command name "compiler_blacklist_versions._get_compiler_version"
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.

Please use -d to get a backtrace.

The errors I'm seeing in our nightly builds, in this and ten other cases, show symptoms of the form:

--->  Computing dependencies for qt5-qtwebengineError: Unable to execute port: invalid command name "compiler_blacklist_versions._get_compiler_version"

(The other instances include ffmpeg, gstreamer1-gst-plugins-bad, and gimp2.) I've grepped the ports tree, and found:

ports/multimedia/libvpx/Portfile:    (${configure.compiler} eq "clang" && [compiler_blacklist_versions._get_compiler_version ${configure.compiler}] > 602)} {

.... thence:

 $ port info libvpx
Error: Unable to open port: invalid command name "compiler_blacklist_versions._get_compiler_version"

Please see also the enclosed file, for the output of port -d info libvpx.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if there's other info you need, eg the output of port -d rdeps qt5-qtwebengine.

It seems libvpx had been fixed (see #59226) before I chipped in. Waiting for the fix to propagate to our build servers for final confirmation; in the meantime, hiding my embarrassement for not checking for that first.

In my case, libvorbis @1.3.6_0+universal is also failing like libvpx did: invalid command name "compiler_blacklist_versions._get_compiler_version". Just for the record.

libvpx was fixed in 0935a2273ec97041947316e6ed825b484337cf98/macports-ports.

The qt5 Portfile doesn't include the compiler_blacklist_versions portgroup so it doesn't itself use this now-deleted function. But it does depend on libvpx, so presumably that's why you saw the error.

Replying to Quibi:

In my case, libvorbis @1.3.6_0+universal is also failing like libvpx did: invalid command name "compiler_blacklist_versions._get_compiler_version". Just for the record.

The libvorbis Portfile​ doesn't include the compiler_blacklist_versions portgroup and doesn't have libvpx in its dependencies. Perhaps you have a locally modified copy of the Portfile?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Seems like this was really libvpx, so closing.
