Toaster had been passing in these files when the bb server was started in '--server-only' mode, and prior to the recent server changes those environment settings were preserved when the subsequent build call was made. Apparently now either those environment settings are no longer persistent, or when Toaster connects to the server the second time with the new port number, that resulting environment is un-connected to the original environment. The problem was not observed prior to now since there were no build failures, just silent errors as all user changes (like MACHINE) were ignored. 77404 1 david.reyna 2017-10-05 20:00:14 +0000 Here is the proposed patch: diff --git a/bitbake/lib/toaster/bldcontrol/localhostbecontroller.py b/bitbake/l index a2ca95b..ab9d9c0 100644 --- a/bitbake/lib/toaster/bldcontrol/localhostbecontroller.py +++ b/bitbake/lib/toaster/bldcontrol/localhostbecontroller.py @@ -381,9 +381,10 @@ class LocalhostBEController(BuildEnvironmentController): local_bitbake = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.getenv('BBBASEDIR')), 'bitbake') self._shellcmd(['bash -c \"(TOASTER_BRBE="%s" BBSERVER="0.0.0.0:%s" ' - '%s %s -u toasterui --token="" >>%s 2>&1;' + '%s %s -u toasterui --read %s --read %s --token="" >>% 'BITBAKE_UI="knotty" BBSERVER=0.0.0.0:%s %s -m)&\"' \ - % (brbe, self.be.bbport, local_bitbake, bbtargets, log, + % (brbe, self.be.bbport, local_bitbake, bbtargets, conf + self.be.bbport, bitbake,)], builddir, nowait=True) logger.debug('localhostbecontroller: Build launched, exiting.

This behaviour wasn't well-defined and so it was working by accident beforehand. 77466 3 david.reyna 2017-10-09 17:59:49 +0000 commit 3eb62b0d700a05c923c5cd96f0c3377202c1e0da (Bitbake rev: fa767d85f19a7af92a44fe11fdfb38633009ad71)
