TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable CircleCI

Question

I'm trying to make this bit of code in my config.yml file work through CircleCI:

cd backend
pip install pipenv
pipenv install

When uploading to circleci, I get the following for this section, everything else passes:

When trying to run these tasks locally, here is what I get in my terminal after pipenv install:
ValueError: Path not found or generated: WindowsPath('c:/program files/git/mingw64/bin')

I have been googling my brains out with this and I've got nothing. The path it specifies in the ValueError does exist on my computer and I currently have Python 3.8.2. I also have 3.7.7 installed as listed in my programs. Please help because I am stumped.

Answer 1

Ok found the issue, it appears that on 2020-05-28 was released a new version of pipenv that was causing this problem and circle still uses it, pipenv has released a new relase today, June 2nd 2020.6.2 which fixes the problem, I just added

pip install pipenv==2020.6.2

to circle config and builds are working again

EDIT: if you use cache within circleci you must explicitely uninstall the version coming from the circle docker image first or it will still fail

pip uninstall pipenv -y
