Whilst typically the URI query is a list of key-value pairs, that's not actually required by the URI specification. For example: http://example.com/foo?bar is a valid query, but this will result in the fetcher raising an exception: File "bitbake/lib/bb/fetch2/__init__.py", line 265, in __init__ self.query = self._param_str_split(urlp.query, "&") File "bitbake/lib/bb/fetch2/__init__.py", line 293, in _param_str_split for k, v in [x.split(kvdelim, 1) for x in string.split(elmdelim) if x]: ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1) In this case the query is just "bar", but the fetcher is trying to split it into a key-value pair. The URI object exposes the parsed query explicitly as a dictionary of key-value pairs, so we have to be a little creative here: if a value is None then it isn't a key-value pair, but a bare key. Fix this by handling elements without the deliminator in _param_str_split() (by assigning the value to None), and handle a None value when formatting the query in _param_str_join().

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
