The tooltip is based on the environment variable coming from "bitbake -e". And MACHINE setting is comment off from bitbake -e thus we can't get it's value. If we need to see the variable value, have to fix in bitbake not a bug |
1.New a bitbake recipe by populated the relevant information(include LICENSE field). 2.Modify the recipe using the variable reference, something like this: FOO = "foo" BAR = "${MACHINE}-${FOO}" BAA="${BAR}" 3. then, move the mouse over "${FOO}" and wait for a while to see if there is text hover information showing the value of variable "FOO". 4. Move the mouse over ${MACHINE} and see what's the value of that variable. 5 Move the mouse over ${BAR}and see what's the value of that variable. EXPECTED RESULT: 3. ${FOO} value is foo 4. ${MACHINE} variable is the default machine defined in conf/local.conf. In my case should be: qemux86 5. ${BAR} value is: qemux86-foo ACTUAL RESULT: 3. ${FOO} value is foo 4. ${MACHINE} value is NOT displayed. 5. ${BAR} value is: qemux86-foo
