Description Alexandru Georgescu 2012-09-18 08:08:53 UTC

In yocto-bsp main page, the field "BSP Name*" accepts spaces. Since BSP names cannot accept spaces but only "_", "-" and ".", a check must be put in the page to prevent the user adding one.

Hi Jessica,
Indeed, the BSP Name does not accept spaces, but it accepts other characters like:  !@#$%^&*()_+{}"|<>?.

Since being able to add those characters to the BSP name but getting error when trying to create one BSP, I am reopening this.

Hi Alex,

I think there should be only one place to check the validity of bsp name which is the yocto-bsp script itself.  Otherwise, we may always have the sync issue from eclipse side with the script.  If you found that the yocto-bsp script report an error and it's not reflecting to the user, then I think that's a more appropriate bug to fix.  BTW, I've tested with your special character list, seems the even the yocto-bsp script will take ? and # as BSP names.
