Reproduction (any repository should work for the reproduction, this one is just an example): devtool add --autorev minit git://git@github.com/OldManYellsAtCloud/minit.git\;protocol=https\;branch=master devtool finish minit ../openembedded-core/meta Result: the first command succeeds, the recipe is created in the workspace. But finishing the recipe fails with the following error: ``` INFO: Updating SRCREV in recipe minit_git.bb Traceback (most recent call last): File "/yocto/init-sandbox/openembedded-core/scripts/devtool", line 352, in <module> ret = main() File "/yocto/init-sandbox/openembedded-core/scripts/devtool", line 338, in main ret = args.func(args, config, basepath, workspace) File "/yocto/init-sandbox/openembedded-core/scripts/lib/devtool/standard.py", line 2183, in finish updated, appendfile, removed = _update_recipe(args.recipename, workspace, rd, args.mode, appendlayerdir, wildcard_version=True, no_remove=False, no_report_remove=removing_original, initial_rev=args.initial_rev, dry_run_outdir=dry_run_outdir, no_overrides=args.no_overrides, force_patch_refresh=args.force_patch_refresh) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/yocto/init-sandbox/openembedded-core/scripts/lib/devtool/standard.py", line 1878, in _update_recipe updated, appendf, removed = _update_recipe_srcrev(recipename, workspace, srctree, crd, appendlayerdir, wildcard_version, no_remove, no_report_remove, dry_run_outdir) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/yocto/init-sandbox/openembedded-core/scripts/lib/devtool/standard.py", line 1562, in _update_recipe_srcrev upd_p, new_p, del_p = _export_patches(srctree, rd, old_srcrev, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ patches_dir) ^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/yocto/init-sandbox/openembedded-core/scripts/lib/devtool/standard.py", line 1329, in _export_patches new_patches = GitApplyTree.extractPatches(srctree, start_revs, destdir, patch_pathspec) File "/yocto/init-sandbox/openembedded-core/meta/lib/oe/patch.py", line 528, in extractPatches out = runcmd(["sh", "-c", " ".join(shellcmd)], os.path.join(tree, name)) File "/yocto/init-sandbox/openembedded-core/meta/lib/oe/patch.py", line 49, in runcmd raise CmdError(cmd, exitstatus >> 8, "stdout: %s\nstderr: %s" % (stdout, stderr)) oe.patch.CmdError: Command Error: 'sh -c 'git format-patch --no-signature --no-numbered AUTOINC -o /tmp/oepatchxu0ig0v0 -- .'' exited with 0 Output: stdout: stderr: fatal: bad revision 'AUTOINC' ``` If the revision is specified explicitly in the "devtool add" command, then "devtool finish" also succeeds. 106140 1 randy.macleod 2026-07-09 15:00:59 +0000 Good catch. Clearly a regression. There should also be another test added. 106171 2 bbnpreetsingh 2026-07-15 15:12:53 +0000 I recently submitted a patch regarding this. 106336 3 bbnpreetsingh 2026-07-26 06:30:36 +0000 ae7be93cfd devtool: standard: fix finish/update-recipe for recipes using AUTOREV b05a903407 oeqa/selftest/devtool: exercise devtool finish on an AUTOREV recipe Series (v2): https://lore.kernel.org/openembedded-core/20260714032029.7-1-bbnpreetsingh@gmail.com/ Patchwork: 92391 and 92392, both accepted. The second commit is the extra test Randy asked for: it runs devtool finish on an AUTOREV recipe and checks that SRCREV is written out as a real revision instead of the literal AUTOINC. I do not appear to have permission to change the bug fields here. Could someone with editbugs move this to RESOLVED/FIXED. 106338 4 skandigraun 2026-07-26 12:17:18 +0000 Fixed by: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/scripts?id=ae7be93cfd63088f6f160e75a99d9eaca1e1bd7f
