Description California Sullivan 2017-11-22 19:24:49 UTC

Working on my efi boot partition stuff along with BB_SERVER_TIMEOUT=10000, I ran into the following:

WARNING: Got ParseProgress event for parsing that never started?
ERROR: Command execution failed: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/clsulliv/yocto/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/command.py", line 113, in runAsyncCommand

    raise WatchManagerError(err, ret_)
pyinotify.WatchManagerError: add_watch: cannot watch /home/clsulliv/yocto/poky/meta/conf WD=-1, Errno=Invalid argument (EINVAL)

In order to get past this I had to kill a number of bitbake processes:

After killing them all it reparsed and I move on.

I'm not sure of the exact steps needed to reproduce this. I was just modifying files/committing changes/doing the occasional rebase when it occurred.

Comment 1 brian avery 2017-11-30 16:18:03 UTC

Cal, if you can find a reproducer for this, please enter it in the bug. If you cannot, reassign it to me and I will just push it to future as a bug documentation entry in case someone later finds a reproducer.

Comment 2 California Sullivan 2017-12-07 18:05:59 UTC

I haven't been able to reproduce this for the last week. Assigning back to Brian.

Comment 3 brian avery 2017-12-08 19:09:43 UTC

here for documentation since no reproducer

Comment 4 Randy MacLeod 2020-06-25 08:27:24 UTC

If we get the persistent server going, we may reopen.
