parts.yaml file not found when running settings script for board family #1658

When trying to install Project X-Ray for the first time, I get the following error when running source settings/artix7.sh

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/benglines/prjxray_test/utils/create_environment.py", line 66, in <module>
    main()
  File "/home/benglines/prjxray_test/utils/create_environment.py", line 59, in main
    environment = get_environment_variables()
  File "/home/benglines/prjxray_test/utils/create_environment.py", line 37, in get_environment_variables
    part_info = get_part_information(db_root, part)
  File "/home/benglines/prjxray_test/prjxray/util.py", line 44, in get_part_information
    "Mapping file {} does not exists".format(filename)
AssertionError: Mapping file /home/benglines/prjxray_test/database/artix7/mapping/parts.yaml does not exists

I have also seen it complain about not finding a resources.yaml file (just like #1639), but I am not exactly sure why that happened nor how to recreate the error. Either way, I solved the issue in both cases by running make db-prepare-artix7, and then source settings/artix7.sh. The quick start guide suggest you do them in the opposite order.

This issue could be resolved by simply switching Step 6 and Step 7 in the quick start guide, so that the shell scripts run in the correct order i.e. running source/settings/artix7.sh after running make db-prepare-parts or make db-prepare-artix7.

Seems like we should set up the CI to use tuttest to run the commands in the README like we do for the symbiflow-examples repository.

@benglines - Thanks for reporting. Indeed, the script should be sourced after preparing the db. @mithro - If I have a little bit time soon, I can try to add such a simple test.
