I wanted to try to build and modify Chromium in order to try and learn a few things. When I first built it and ran it (without any changes), it worked perfectly fine, however I tried changes some of the branding in order to tinker with it and it gave me an error message. I referred to two places when rebranding to see where I could change the branding:

First link

Second link

When I ran the modified version, it gave me an error message when running:

[0808/205916.858263:FATAL:bundle_locations.mm(62)] Check failed: new_bundle. Failed to load the bundle at /path/to/src/out/buildTwo/RebrandName.app/Contents/Frameworks/Chromium Framework.framework/Versions/94.0.4601.0

zsh: trace trap  out/buildTwo/RebrandName.app/Contents/MacOS/RebrandName

I tried to investigate to see what might have happened and saw that /path/to/src/out/buildTwo/RebrandName.app/Contents/Frameworks/Chromium Framework.framework but in it's place is /path/to/src/out/buildTwo/RebrandName.app/Contents/Frameworks/RebrandName Framework.framework

I ran out/buildTwo/RebrandName.app/Contents/MacOS/RebrandName and this error popped up.

This is currently running on an M1 Macbook Pro on MacOS Big Sur.

I have tried searching for the fix with no luck. Please understand that I have little to no idea of what I'm doing, so if more clarification is required, please let me know and I will try to edit my question as best as I can.

  • I have not tried those answers on my Mac as I do Chromium development on Windows only but you can try modifying the references from these source files and try again: https://source.chromium.org/search?q=%22Chromium%20Framework.framework%22&ss=chromium – Asesh Aug 10 '21 at 03:00
  • @Asesh I tried editing the ones that were provided from the link above, however I am getting a similar error. Instead of `[0808/205916.858263:FATAL:bundle_locations.mm(62)]...`, I'm getting `[0810/103402.336405:FATAL:bundle_locations.mm(62)]...`, and the rest is the same. Though I didn't know you could search the source like this, so I thank you for that. – Butheus Aug 10 '21 at 15:42
