One need to run bitbake -c cleansstate for the new file to be taken into account. To reproduce the issue: 1. Init (use default WKS_FILE="qemux86-directdisk.wks") . oe-init-build-env echo 'IMAGE_FSTYPES += "wic"' >> conf/local.conf 2. First clean build rm -f wic/qemux86-directdisk.wks bitbake core-image-minimal -c cleansstate && bitbake core-image-minimal 3. Create an override for WKS_FILE (earlier in WKS_SEARCH_PATH) and introduce an error (a very small partition size) so that we can see it happen (or not). mkdir -p wic echo "part / --source rootfs --fstype=ext4 --fixed-size 1M" > wic/qemux86-directdisk.wks 4. Build again bitbake core-image-minimal ...
