git config returns an error code if user.email or user.name are not set, so bb.process.run raises an ExecutionError, failing the test. Improve the logic by catching the ExectionError and using this to set a default value. Change a direct invocation of 'git init' to use self.git_init so that it follows the code path above. Remove the related comment from the README now that git sets up the user details automatically.

Bitbake
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run
|
|
efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints.
|
|
One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software
|
|
stacks using a task-oriented approach.
|
|
|
|
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website:
|
|
https://www.openembedded.org/
|
|
|
|
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated
|
|
html version at the Yocto Project website:
|
|
https://docs.yoctoproject.org
|
|
|
|
Bitbake requires Python version 3.8 or newer.

Please refer to
|
|
https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
|
|
for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended
|
|
for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org)
|
|
but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send
|
|
the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current
|
|
branch, type:
|
|
|
|
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org

Testing
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Bitbake has a testsuite located in lib/bb/tests/ whichs aim to try and prevent regressions.
|
|
You can run this with "bitbake-selftest". In particular the fetcher is well covered since
|
|
it has so many corner cases. The datastore has many tests too. Testing with the testsuite is
|
|
recommended before submitting patches, particularly to the fetcher and datastore. We also
|
|
appreciate new test cases and may require them for more obscure issues.
|
|
|
|
To run the tests "zstd" and "git" must be installed.
|
|
|
|
The assumption is made that this testsuite is run from an initialized OpenEmbedded build
|
|
environment (i.e. `source oe-init-build-env` is used). If this is not the case, run the
|
|
testsuite as follows:
|
|
|
|
export PATH=$(pwd)/bin:$PATH
|
|
bin/bitbake-selftest
