Description Richard Purdie 2015-05-16 09:52:26 UTC 
Looking at any autobuilder log (e.g. https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/main/builders/nightly-arm/builds/303/steps/BuildImages/logs/stdio) we see:

NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies

Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.27.0"
BUILD_SYS         = "x86_64-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING   = "CentOS-6.6"
TARGET_SYS        = "arm-poky-linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "qemuarm"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.8+snapshot-20150515"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "arm armv5 thumb dsp"
TARGET_FPU        = "soft"

meta-yocto        
meta-yocto-bsp    = "master-next:3cca4fa0d9541d87d8f53c2544bfbef171caa20b"
meta-qt3          = "master:3016129d90b7ac8517a5227d819f10ad417b5b45"

Failure expanding variable SRCPV, expression was ${@bb.fetch2.get_srcrev(d)} which triggered exception FetchError: Fetcher failure: SRCREV was used yet no valid SCM was found in SRC_URI
NOTE: Preparing RunQueue

Note the FetchError. This only occurs when the -w option is passed to bitbake (and this occurs locally too).

We need to find a way to remove this error message.

Verified on master: da13f0bce5d1b3c52f5716ae8d104372a820e5f9

Steps:
1. $ git checkout 947e5260f9f3a68e51ccc456610bad9a8b200224
2. $ bitbake ed -w WRITEEVENTLOG
Failure expanding variable SRCPV, expression was ${@bb.fetch2.get_srcrev(d)} which triggered exception FetchError: Fetcher failure: SRCREV was used yet no valid SCM was found in SRC_URI
3. $ git checkout master
4. $ bitbake ed -w WRITEEVENTLOG --> build successfully
