David, assigning this one to you quite randomly: feel free to pass it onto someone else if needed.

Hi Belen,

1) First of all, the current code is trying to display "task.path_to_sstate_obj" and "task.work_directory", both of which appear to be empty in the database.

This appears to be a backend defect, not a GUI defect. Are these obsolete fields, or just not populated?

2) You mentioned the config var "SSTATE_MIRRORS"?

There is no such value in the database. The closest is "SSTATE_DIR" ( which is "/home/abc/toaster_1_6/build/sstate-cache" in my database).

Should perhaps the task page show this?

  The name of the file searched... = basename(SSTATE_DIR)
  The locations where the above file was searched... = dirname(SSTATE_DIR)

I do not see a list of mirrors, unless SSTATE_DIR is really a list of paths, where the cache file name is the same ("sstate-cache") and the paths perhaps many?

  The name of the file searched... = basename(SSTATE_DIR[0])
  The locations where the above file was searched... = split(SSTATE_DIR,':') | sed -e "s|/sstate-cache||g"

task.path_to_sstate_obj is what the "File searched for" item should be set to. It is indeed empty, but I believe Alex is on his way to bringing it in (bug 5252). task.workdirectoy is a different thing (is supposed to show the code executed by a certain task), and we have moved it to 1.7 (bug 5255).

Mmm, maybe I understood Alex wrong. It might be an idea to ping him to clarify.

Re-assigning to Alex for his review of the issues and backend.

My database has no "SSTATE_MIRRORS" value, but that may be because there are none in my project setup.

There is a "SSTATE_DIR" entry.

Just to clarify, the "URI(s) searched" field should show all the locations where the sstate object was searched, which I guess means SSTATE_DIR and SSTATE_MIRRORS (if any have been set up).

Reassiging to David,

Belen is correct, we need to display
SSTATE_DIR 
SSTATE_MIRRORS, processed; 

The processing part of the SSTATE_MIRRORS is:
 * each entry is separated by new-line
 * we need to take the second field from each entry, where the fields are separated by spaces


Hope this helps,
Alex
