We've been seeing weird PRServ failures on the autobuilder. These had
one failure always followed by a second. Whilst I can't reproduce the first,
if I made that test fail, I could reproduce the second with memory resident
bitbake. This was with the tests:
prservice.BitbakePrTests.test_import_export_replace_db
and then
prservice.BitbakePrTests.test_pr_service_deb_arch_dep
which was giving a strange looking error:
NOTE: Running task 1053 of 1055 (/home/pokybuild/yocto-worker/oe-selftest-debian/build/meta/recipes-devtools/m4/m4_1.4.19.bb:do_package_write_rpm)
NOTE: Running task 1054 of 1055 (/home/pokybuild/yocto-worker/oe-selftest-debian/build/meta/recipes-devtools/m4/m4_1.4.19.bb:do_package_qa)
ERROR: No such task: do_package_write_rpm
ERROR: Task (/home/pokybuild/yocto-worker/oe-selftest-debian/build/meta/recipes-devtools/m4/m4_1.4.19.bb:do_package_write_rpm) failed with exit code '1'
where the issue is that selftest.inc written by the test framework
and containing PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_deb" was being ignored.
The issue is the cached_statements{} within BBHandler() is not being
invalidated at the right time.
This patch changes the code to ensure base configuration is not parsed
until inotify updates have been processed.

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 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. Git must be correctly configured, in particular the user.email and user.name values must be set.
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
