[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 1/2] fetch2: fix malformed URL causing a useless traceback

[Paul Eggleton]

The implementation of NoMethodError and MalformedUrl was broken - if you
just set self.args in an exception class to a string it treats it as a
list and then fails later on with a TypeError due to the number of
arguments not matching up.

This nasty exception during exception handling was breaking the normal
exception flow (fixed separately), which meant that if you had a
malformed URL or invalid protocol in SRC_URI you would get the
following:

ERROR: Command execution failed: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/poky/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/command.py", line 84, in runAsyncCommand
    self.cooker.updateCache()
  File "/home/user/poky/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/cooker.py", line 1207, in updateCache
    if not self.parser.parse_next():
  File "/home/user/poky/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/cooker.py", line 1694, in parse_next
    logger.error('Unable to parse %s', value.recipe,
AttributeError: 'exceptions.TypeError' object has no attribute 'recipe'

A specific fix for [YOCTO #2977].
