[Bug]: No "jsonmerge" installed using the windows installation method - solution included.

RandomInternetPreson commented 11 months ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

[X] I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What happened?

I've seen people mention something similar to this in the issue tracker, but I think this is maybe a different issue and I haven't seen a widows install specific solution? Okay so if I have python 3.10.6 installed, the initial installation of Auto1111 does not include the "jsonmerge" folder it ONLY installs the "jsonmerge-1.8.0.dist-info" folder.

So the program will not start.

However, if I have python 3.11.4 installed, both folders are installed as necessary and Auto1111 seems to run. I am hesitate to run it in this configuration as it was not intended to run with this version of python (as indicated on the front page of the repo).

So I have taken the two folders worth of contents from the installation that used python 3.11.4 and put them in the installation that used python 3.10.6 and things seem to be working now.

I had tried various pip techniques and could not get the "jsonmerge" folder to install correctly.

Steps to reproduce the problem

I just built a new machine and followed the instructions on the front page of the repo. I have done the suggested installation many times without fail on a previous machine.

What should have happened?

Auto1111 should have installed the "jsonmerge" folder, it only installed the "jsonmerge-1.8.0.dist-info" folder

Additional information

Really like the software, thanks!

I'll temporarily leave this open but I'll mention I can't reproduce this, and this is after doing a fresh venv install as of yesterday on the latest dev branch commit with Python 3.10.6. Your solution would work but it indicates something else is going wrong and I wouldn't recommend that as a permanent fix.

I've encountered the same problem. After 2 hours' trying I deleted the folder jsonmerge-1.8.0.dist-info and cached file jsonmerge-1.8.0-py3-none-any.whl then reinstalled jsonmerge (by modifying the code in launch_utils.py while you can also find other ways) and solved the problem. Then came the basicsr problem and I solved it with another reinstall.

Installed & cached modules could lead to fatal problems which can be got through by merely reinstalling them! That's terrible. I don't think common users with less knowledge in scripts and programming could solve this. I really hope the maintainers could update the setup scripts to improve robustness.

I had the same issue after migrating to a new PC (but the cards are different generations so I re-installed venv). Kept getting the no jsonmerge error. I thought it was disk privilege issues but no dice. The most weird part was I open the project in pycharm, which I used as Git manager, and tried to run webui.py inside. It always says no JsonMerge even though I installed the package several times within Pycharm

Just tried what @john-0u0 wrote I went to Appdata/local/pip/cache or something and looked into the cache folders until I find the jsonmerge cached file. Delete and used Pycharm to open the SD folder, reinstalling Jsonmerge seems to have done it (it's downloading SD1.5 and XL as I type, so passed the JSONMerge error part. Looks to be a corrupted package issue in my case.

I got the same error when I reinstalled sd-webui. Just deleted the venv folder and retried a few times then the error was gone.

fsdtking commented 2 months ago

At the entry file I solved it like this. launch.py added

import sys, os
// Set the correct site-packages folder path into the environment variable
sys.path.append("E:\\anaconda3\\envs\\sd\\lib\\site-packages")

I got same error today. Fresh (first-ever) install on Windows 11 using instructions at Install-and-Run-on-NVidia-GPUs, i.e. download sd.webui.zip, run update.bat, run run.bat.

After downloading some stuff it crashes with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'jsonmerge'.

UPDATE: I also tried "method 2" there, i.e. global install of Python and git and then clone repository, but that doesn't work either and gives same error.

ok, looks like webui-user.bat tries to install required jsonmerge but for some reason installs broken package which doesn't work (site-packages will have jsonmerge-1.8.0.dist-info directory but no jsonmerge directory).

I don't know why this happens, and note that this is with clean Windows 11 install in which Python has not been used at all before.

Following fixes this for me (when using "method 2" i.e. with global Python and git): In Command Prompt go to the installation directory and then run following: .\venv\Scripts\activate.bat pip uninstall jsonmerge pip install jsonmerge=1.8.0 --no-cache-dir

uninstall is required to first remove broken package
installed version must be exactly 1.8.0, otherwise webui-user.bat will remove the version I installed and install broken 1.8.0 instead
--no-cache-dir is required or otherwise broken package is installed
