I am trying to build Chromium on Ubuntu using these instructions
[1] https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_build_instructions.md
and getting below error
VirtualBox:~/chromium/src$ gn gen out/Default
ERROR at //build_overrides/build.gni:5:1: Unable to load "/home/chromium/src/build/config/gclient_args.gni".

Has anyone faced this issue?
I had the same problem. I fix by adding the missing file (I've copied from an old build) and than run:
gclient sync --force
Than I run again the getThirdParties.js and gn args out/Default.
