From 07bf9b460fe97dec86439302a83bbefa8bac9d70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gregor Zatko Date: Sun, 24 May 2020 12:24:04 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sanity.bbclass: Detect and fail if 'inherit' is used in conf file 'inherit' directive may not be used in conf files as it's supposed to be used for the inheritance of classes. Correct form in conf file is INHERIT. This commit adds: - a sanity check to find whether the wrong case exists - fail the build if so - tell user about the difference in directives [YOCTO #5426] Signed-off-by: Gregor Zatko Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie --- meta/classes/sanity.bbclass | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/meta/classes/sanity.bbclass b/meta/classes/sanity.bbclass index 292c5591dd..e021b9d240 100644 --- a/meta/classes/sanity.bbclass +++ b/meta/classes/sanity.bbclass @@ -784,6 +784,12 @@ def check_sanity_everybuild(status, d): if "." in paths or "./" in paths or "" in paths: status.addresult("PATH contains '.', './' or '' (empty element), which will break the build, please remove this.\nParsed PATH is " + str(paths) + "\n") + # Check whether 'inherit' directive is found (used for a class to inherit) + # in conf file it's supposed to be uppercase INHERIT + inherit = d.getVar('inherit') + if inherit: + status.addresult("Please don't use inherit directive in your local.conf.
