Description Francisco Pedraza 2017-04-21 17:55:53 UTC 
After trying to run oe-selftest the following error message was displayed: "2017-04-21 09:51:06,597 - selftest - ERROR - Please unset SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS in order to run oe-selftest" Rep (3/3).

I added the var SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS = "" at conf/local.conf and after that I was able to run oe-selftest.

$  oe-selftest -r eSDK.oeSDKExtSelfTest.test_image_generation_binary_feeds  eSDK.oeSDKExtSelfTest.test_install_libraries_headers


Expected results
oe-selftest should run successfully
Actual results
oe-selftest failed getting the following error message: "ERROR - Please unset SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS in order to run oe-selftest"

Yes, as bug 11292 says leaving that set can cause errors.

You could argue that oe-selftest should be clearing this value instead of expecting the user to do it.  Patches welcome.

Comment 3 Jose Perez C 2017-04-27 15:05:20 UTC 
New proposal to do not write config files, Bug 11429 is filed to track the proposal, making this bug dependent of that.

This is a duplication fro the bug 11933
