Fixes "2efb14648 toaster: Monitoring - implement Django logging system" when running in a container. When running in a container, the previous approach of using BASE_DIR is not a writable path. Also, we really do not want to be writing logs into the source tree, as the BASE_DIR was resolving to bitbake/lib/toaster/logs Since Toaster is only ever running in an environment where oe-init-buildenv or similar has been sourced, we should instead write the logs to BUILDDIR. Using BUILDDIR to logs make path writable but django-log-viewer does'nt manage to write logs using an absolute path as BUILDDIR, where the existing toaster_ui.log was already being written. Also drop the /logs/ directory, as it has not been created which also breaks in a container environment To handle the constraints linked to django-log-viewer and /logs/, we've updated bitbake/bin/toaster to create a toaster_logs/ directory in BUILDDIR if it doesn't exist, when toaster starts up. Also manage to set BUILDDIR/toaster_logs/ as default location for toaster logs.

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.
Contributing
Please refer to our contributor guide here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/contributor-guide/ for full details on how to submit changes.
As a quick guide, patches should be sent to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org The git command to do that would be:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
If you're sending a patch related to the BitBake manual, make sure you copy the Yocto Project documentation mailing list:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org --cc docs@lists.yoctoproject.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
The testsuite can alternatively be executed using pytest, e.g. obtained from PyPI (in this case, the PATH is configured automatically):
pytest
