Description Martin Jansa 2012-08-21 07:33:02 UTC 
Updating cache sometimes fails, but does not say which recipe is failing to parse:

ERROR: Command execution failed: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/bb/command.py", line 84, in runAsyncCommand
    self.cooker.updateCache()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/bb/cooker.py", line 1207, in updateCache
    if not self.parser.parse_next():
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/bb/cooker.py", line 1684, in parse_next

even with debug output of
bitbake -v -v -D shr-image 2>&1 | tee -a log
I cannot find which recipe/file is causing this

There have been a number of error handling fixes in master over the last week - is this issue still reproducible with current master?
Comment 3 Paul Eggleton 2012-09-03 14:33:11 UTC 
Changing status to NEEDINFO
Comment 4 Paul Eggleton 2012-09-07 15:23:57 UTC 
OK, with some help from Martin last night I tracked down the cause of this and have sent some patches to the bitbake-devel mailing list.
