Python Script ocassionally throws errors

[mwiegand]

Hi,

I have executed a Python solution but in parallel chunks.

External Tool "issues" and high difficulty to use

Totally agree, we should make the External Tool node more usable. Still, to give you a possible workaround right now, I just rebuilt the NGS Bash node’s functionality using the Python Script node in KNIME 4.7, and using the bundled Python environment (which it’ll use by default if you freshly install the Python Integration in KNIME). So you don’t even need to deal with setting up a Python installation. Place a Python Script node in your workflow, click the three dots to remove the input table …

Occasionally the following error was thrown which I could circumvent by re-execution:

ERROR Python Script        3:983:0:819:0:853:955 Execute failed: Could not start Python. There are problems with your Python environment:
Python installation could not be determined.xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun

ERROR Python Script        3:983:0:819:0:853:927 Execute failed: Could not start Python. There are problems with your Python environment:
Python installation could not be determined.xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun

ERROR Parallel Chunk End   3:983:0:819:0:783 Execute failed: Not all chunks finished - check individual chunk branches for details.

Hi Mike,

unfortunately, this seems to be an issue related to Apple according to the following links.
Could you try the first (or other) links suggestion with xcode-select --install?

Why am I getting an “invalid active developer path” when attempting to use Git after upgrading to macOS Ventura?

xcrun: error: invalid active developer path, problem after zsh update for flutter

Git is not working after macOS Update (xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools)

Edit: a link with even more solution possibilities

[SOLVED] Mac OS: xcrun: error: invalid active developer path, missing xcrun -...

Best regards
Steffen

Thanks a lot for your suggestions @steffen_KNIME. I have worked through these and going to pay attention if the erratic issue still occurs. Enjoy your weekend!
