Description Gary Thomas 2016-03-17 07:41:02 UTC

If you run 'bitbake some-recipe -g -u depexp' and there are any errors, the GTK window will pop up and then just sit there - forever.  For example, if 'some-recipe' does not exist.

I found this by making a simple typo when trying to run depexp on a busy system.  I thought it was just slow until I killed it and ran 'bitbake -g some-recipe' without depexp and saw my typo.  A little better feedback would be useful (expected).

I've got a small patch for the NoProvider case, can send in my next set.

The NoProvider patch was merged in bitbake eee9231a543f1d0b9ef3cd8377fc46fd23afb97b.

Oops sent to wrong list then, thanks RP for sorting that out. 

I'm marking this resolved as I don't think there are other error events that should be handled.
