Problem with /releasetools/ota_from_target_files

[ishtiaque9]

I've encountered this particular error while trying to run ota_target_from_phone.

The terminal error is given below:

Build full ota package: /home/ishtiaque/patchrom/xblade/stockrom.zip
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ishtiaque/patchrom/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files", line 76, in
import common
File "/home/ishtiaque/patchrom/tools/releasetools/common.py", line 42, in
OPTIONS.search_path = os.path.join(os.environ["$PORT_ROOT"], "tools");
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/UserDict.py", line 23, in getitem
raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: '$PORT_ROOT'

As you can see, it seems there's a certain issue with the $PORT_ROOT thing. Please look into it and provide solution. Do I need to edit envsetup.sh in any way?

it seems didn't run
. build/envsetup.sh
try run it firstly and ota target from phone again

I actually did run .build/envsetup.sh and it worked. However, I found out
this other thing. Whenever I need to run any 'make' commands or
ota_target_from_phone, I have to run the envsetup.sh each time separately.
Why is that, could you please tell me?

You have to initialize the build environment. That is required in tons of build setups.

I know it is late but running

source build/envsetup.sh

removed all my usues 💯
