If one adds the following line to an image recipe without defining the function: ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "rootfs_funky_stuff;" bitbake will terminate with a cryptic error message: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'
To inform the user of what bitbake wasn't able to find, raise a KeyError exception denoting the function name before that happens. This changes the message to the much more useful: KeyError: 'rootfs_funky_stuff' Signed-off-by: Mike Looijmans <mike.looijm...@topic.nl> --- lib/bb/build.py | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/lib/bb/build.py b/lib/bb/build.py index c4c8aeb..5bc18c1 100644 --- a/lib/bb/build.py +++ b/lib/bb/build.py @@ -194,6 +194,8 @@ def exec_func(func, d, dirs = None, pythonexception=False): oldcwd = None flags = d.getVarFlags(func) + if flags is None: + raise KeyError(func) cleandirs = flags.get('cleandirs') if cleandirs: for cdir in d.expand(cleandirs).split(): -- 1.9.1 -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
