The command to invoke the dev shell is: bitbake <task> -c devpyshell However, the prompt in the shell is "pydevshell". Indeed, you see both names in the code: $ git grep devpyshell meta/classes/devshell.bbclass:def devpyshell(d): meta/classes/devshell.bbclass:python do_devpyshell() { meta/classes/devshell.bbclass: devpyshell(d) meta/classes/devshell.bbclass:addtask devpyshell after do_patch meta/classes/devshell.bbclass:do_devpyshell[nostamp] = "1" meta/conf/documentation.conf:do_devpyshell[doc] = "Starts an interactive Python shell for development/debugging" scripts/oepydevshell-internal.py:histfile = os.path.expanduser("~/.oedevpyshell-history") $ git grep pydevshell meta/classes/devshell.bbclass: oe_terminal("oepydevshell-internal.py %s %d" % (sname, pid), 'OpenEmbedded Developer PyShell', d) meta/classes/devshell.bbclass: ps1 = "pydevshell> " scripts/oepydevshell-internal.py: print('oepydevshell-internal.py: error: the following arguments are required: pty, pid\n' scripts/oepydevshell-internal.py: 'Usage: oepydevshell-internal.py pty pid\n\n' scripts/oepydevshell-internal.py: 'OpenEmbedded oepydevshell-internal.py - internal script called from meta/classes/devshell.bbclass\n\n' It's probably easier to replace "pydevshell" by "devpyshell", so that the task name doesn't change. Note that this will require a documentation update too. I'll be happy to propose a patch but I need your opinions first. Thanks in advance Michael. 91326 1 randy.macleod 2021-09-02 14:36:29 +0000 The vote is to keep pydevshell even if it does break the task name. 91666 2 michael.opdenacker 2021-10-05 08:37:53 +0000 Thanks for the decision! Proposed a patch to OE-core: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/156637 If it is accepted, I'll also have to update the documentation to fix this bug for good. 91775 3 michael.opdenacker 2021-10-18 14:43:41 +0000 The patch was accepted: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=958133f4e97275d1f2c74a7e715c4506cca3582f Will submit a documentation patch soon. 91776 4 michael.opdenacker 2021-10-18 15:12:01 +0000 Documentation patch posted: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/message/1996 91997 5 michael.opdenacker 2021-11-12 18:49:17 +0000 Everything is fixed now, both the code and then the documentation. Marking the bug as "Resolved".
