Subject: [PATCH v5 5/6] wic: extra-partitions: move extra-files WicError to do_prepare_partition
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 10:32:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116093215.26108-5-adam.duskett@amarulasolutions.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260116093215.26108-1-adam.duskett@amarulasolutions.com>
For organizational purposes, move the raised WicError if extra files isn't
provided by a user to the do_prepare_partition method and rewrite the message
to be more clear if a user wishes to create an empty partition.
The original error is changed to a warning in the event a user has a typo
in the variable. For example:
IMAGE_EXTRA_PARTITION_FILES_label-fooo = "bar.conf"
part --source extra-partition --fstype=ext4 --label foo
Signed-off-by: Adam Duskett <adam.duskett@amarulasolutions.com>
---
v1 -> v2: If the list is blank, print a warning instead of an info.
v2 -> v4: Raise an error in do_prepare_partition instead of making
extra files optional. Extend error message.
v4 -> v5: Chagne logger.warning to logger.info
