Description Stephano Cetola 2018-02-21 23:05:26 UTC 
Back in 2.3 wic create would tell you where the rootfs location was:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.3/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#generate-an-image-using-a-provided-kickstart-file

wic create mkefidisk -e core-image-minimal
ROOTFS_DIR: /home.../core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs

As of 2.4 it outputs the tmp rootfs location instead. This was probably introduced when this feature was turned into a plugin.

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.4/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#generate-an-image-using-a-provided-kickstart-file

wic create mkefidisk -e core-image-minimal
ROOTFS_DIR: /home/scottrif/poky/build/tmp.wic.r4hkds0b/rootfs_copy

See plugins/imager/direct.py: print_info()

Here is what I have in the docs... Needs updating once we have a resolution.
