This patch adds support for extending the BB_ENV_PASSTHROUGH_ADDITIONS
environment variable from within the `init-build-env` wrapper script -
generated by either oe-core's oe-setup-build, or by `bitbake-setup` -
based on per-configuration JSON settings.
This enables CI workflows to inject environment-specific data - such
as build number, host, build type, or credentials required to fetch
from certain SRC_URIs - which cannot be captured via configuration
fragments alone. These variables are now handled early in the setup
process and exported directly into the build environment.
Example:
"bb-env-passthrough-additions": [
"ACME_DIR",
"ARTIFACTORY_TOKEN",
"ARTIFACTORY_USERNAME",
"GITHUB_TOKEN",
"GITHUB_PROTOCOL",
"KEY"
]
<snip>
the resulting 'init-build-env' would then be:
# environment passthrough added by bitbake-setup
export BB_ENV_PASSTHROUGH_ADDITIONS=" \
$BB_ENV_PASSTHROUGH_ADDITIONS \
ACME_DIR \
ARTIFACTORY_TOKEN \
ARTIFACTORY_USERNAME \
GITHUB_TOKEN \
GITHUB_PROTOCOL \
KEY"
# init-build-env wrapper created by bitbake-setup

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/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
