Bitbaking a recipe which refers to a missing bbclass

Bitbaking a recipe which refers to a missing bbclass

[Nicolas FR]

Hi,

I have noticed that when bitbaking a recipe which refers to a missing
.bbclass definition, there where no warning / error.

For example let's say I try to bitbake example.bb which has:
"inherits qt3x11"

if qt3x11 is missing in my /opt/OE/mybranch/classes/
then no warning / error is isued.

Should I submit a bug for this?

Regards;
Nicolas.

I've noticed the same thing and I agree that it's rather annoying.
I'd much rather it fail then continue on and do something else.

Try:

Index: lib/bb/parse/parse_py/BBHandler.py
===================================================================
--- lib/bb/parse/parse_py/BBHandler.py  (revision 618)
+++ lib/bb/parse/parse_py/BBHandler.py  (working copy)
@@ -62,7 +62,7 @@
         if not file in __inherit_cache.split():
             debug(2, "BB %s:%d: inheriting %s" % (fn, lineno, file))
             __inherit_cache += " %s" % file
-            include(fn, file, d)
+            include(fn, file, d, True)
     data.setVar('__inherit_cache', __inherit_cache, d)


This should show a big ERROR while parsing (but it doesn't bail, it
will just fail saying that there is no provider for this package as it
doesn't seem to make it into the cache now).

This is probably an artifact of the 'inherit' and the 'include'
statement sharing code.
I would like to propose 'inherit' to behave like 'require'.

Yes, please.

Yep, I'd certainly support that.

In my case I had named my new class "cpan_build.bb" and it took me ages to
figure out why it wouldn't work... should have been .bbclass of course but
I'm just sooo0 used to calling things .bb!
