Case 1: the recipe name is invalid bitbake -b bogus ERROR: Command execution failed: Traceback (most recent call last): <python traceback> AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'bbfile_config_priorities' Case 2: the recipe name is valid, but is skipped (due to COMPATIBLE_MACHINE, for example) bitbake -b v86d ERROR: Command execution failed: Traceback (most recent call last): <python traceback> AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'bbfile_config_priorities' Note that if you don't include the -b option to bitbake, the above examples print out much more useful information: ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'bogus' <python traceback> NoProvider: bogus So I think the goal is to fix this so the NoProvider information is displayed instead (although, see bug #542 regarding ways to even improve this error case). 14908 1 bluelightning 2011-07-22 08:05:51 +0000 With latest master, bitbake -b seems to be working well again - specifying just the package name (v86d), a recipe file name with no path (v86d_0.1.9.bb), and the full path to a recipe (/home/paul/poky/poky/meta/recipes-bsp/v86d/v86d_0.1.9.bb) all work fine. What still needs to be improved ideally is what you get when you specify something that doesn't exist: paul@helios:~/poky/poky/build$ bitbake -b bogus ERROR: Unable to match bogus (0 matches found): ERROR: Command execution failed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/paul/poky/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/command.py", line 102, in runAsyncCommand commandmethod(self.cmds_async, self, options) File "/home/paul/poky/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/command.py", line 190, in buildFile command.cooker.buildFile(bfile, task) File "/home/paul/poky/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/cooker.py", line 869, in buildFile fn = self.matchFile(fn) File "/home/paul/poky/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/cooker.py", line 850, in matchFile raise MultipleMatches MultipleMatches 18149 2 richard.purdie 2012-01-15 02:08:04 +0000 Fixed in master: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=9fd17bbe1ca3894437a16a625e05334dc97c5273 18480 3 jiajun.xu 2012-02-05 07:35:53 +0000 It is verified as fixed in 1.2 M2.
