bb broken with pyro (worked until morty)

RobertBerger commented 7 years ago

I was super happy with bb until morty, but moved to pyro and it seems to be broken now. e.g.

~/test/bb/bin/bb show DISTRO
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/genius/test/bb/libexec/bb-show", line 202, in <module>
    bbcmd.run_main(main)
  File "/home/genius/test/bb/libexec/bbcmd.py", line 310, in run_main
    sys.exit(main(sys.argv[1:]) or 0)
  File "/home/genius/test/bb/libexec/bb-show", line 198, in main
    return show(args)
  File "/home/genius/test/bb/libexec/bb-show", line 158, in show
    tinfoil = bbcmd.Tinfoil(output=sys.stderr)
  File "/home/genius/test/bb/libexec/bbcmd.py", line 34, in __init__
    self.localdata = self.cooker.data
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'data'

Is this what you meant with your comment that most of bb is broken due to Tinfoil?

I guess it's a major effort to rewrite bb. Is it dead?

Yep, this is the same as issue #33. It's not a complete rewrite, but it's close to it, and has to be done for each individual sub-command one by one. I do intend to either fix it or get equivalent functionality into bitbake itself during the 2.4 timeframe, however, so it's not a lost cause, and clearly meets needs that just aren't satisfied by the existing official tools right now.

Thanks for the reply. Please let me know when you have something to test for me. In the meantime I'll rewrite my scripts so they don't rely on bb, since I need to get something up and running soon with pyro.

Also some other things changed in pyro, like depexp was replaced by taskexp. I was hoping to find reverse dependencies with bb;)
