Meet 'FileNotFoundError' on git-bash/Windows 10 about client-e2e-python-test-library

@janisimonen @calmjm can you check this?

[janisimonen]

Hi @ccli8!
Were you able to run manifest-tool init before starting the pytest?

[ccli8]

@janisimonen , on my git-bash/Windows 10, I can run manifest-tool init separately and successfully. Actually, before the pytest, I've run mbed dev-mgmt init, which includes manifest-tool init.

[janisimonen]

Okey, interesting. I'll try to find a Win machine and try to reproduce this situation here.

pelion_e2e_test.log
same issue observed when running this test for DISCO_L496AG + STMod BG96
Wondering if this section of log is relevant to the problem:

def _execute_child(self, args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds,
                   pass_fds, cwd, env,
                   startupinfo, creationflags, shell,
                   p2cread, p2cwrite,
                   c2pread, c2pwrite,
                   errread, errwrite,
                   unused_restore_signals, unused_start_new_session):
    """Execute program (MS Windows version)"""

    assert not pass_fds, "pass_fds not supported on Windows."

Hi @ccli8 and @soleilplanet!
Looks like the (pip) installed manifest-tool is missing from the Windows' systems PATH - if it's not found by the pytest. So, if you can check where the manifest-tool is installed and then add that folder to env PATH - e.g like this: https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/

@janisimonen I am sure manifest-tool has installed in my Windows. Checking my python installation path C:\Python37, I find the file manifest-tool is placed under C:\Python37\Scripts, but no manifest-tool.exe. Actually, I find no manifest-tool.exe in my Windows.

[janisimonen]

@ccli8 Looks like manifest-tool has issue on pip installation - I just noted the same behaviour. So, you need to clone the manifest-tool repo and install the local copy on Windows environment to have executable where it should be.

@janisimonen The workaround works. I find manifest-tool.exe under C:\Python37\Scripts folder now. Thanks for your information.

@ccli8 Good to hear - thanks!
