[bitbake-devel] AttributeError: 'SignatureGenerator' object has no attribute 'file_checksum_values'

[Amit Chaudhuri]

Hi all,

I am following the "Hello World" example from
yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#the-hello-world-example.

I have sourced the oe-init-build-env script.

I get an error message when trying to execute the bitbake printhello
command from my project dir.  Command and output here:

Bitbake version is:

BitBake Build Tool Core version 1.20.0, bitbake version 1.20.0

OS details:

cat /etc/os-release
NAME=openSUSE
VERSION="13.1 (Bottle)"
VERSION_ID="13.1"
PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86_64)"
ID=opensuse
ANSI_COLOR="0;32"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:opensuse:13.1"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.opensuse.org"
HOME_URL="https://opensuse.org/"
ID_LIKE="suse"

The only difference I can see between example and my attempt is the
layer name (testlayer vs mylayer) and I've checked that I am being
consistent.

The error message suggests to me that there's a versioning problem on
the SignatureGenerator.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?
Happy to provide additional info (e.g. strace).

Regards,
Amit
