module "soong_namespace" does not exist

[inbouto]

Hi

On a ubuntu 21.10 VM with 16 GB of RAM and 16 GB of SWAP, on a 1 TB partition exclusively for the repo

I synced the aosp twrp repo, added the FP4 manifest at .repo/local_manifest/FP4.xml, synced again, did

export ALLOW_MISSING_DEPENDENCIES=true
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch twrp_FP4-eng
m recoveryimage

And I am getting this error :

I am new to messing around with android, would be glad to know where I messed up !

Can you check if you have a .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml? The lunch command should've written that (and downloaded the repository) based on the twrp.dependencies file in this repository.

[inbouto]

I do not have that file, even after re-syncing I'm going to start over and re-download everything

Ah I found the problem. Please rename .repo/local_manifests/FP4.xml to .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml and then run the build commands again. That should download the dependency:
