[bitbake-devel] [PATCH] bb.build: in _exec_task, catch errors from TaskStarted

[Christopher Larson]

From: Christopher Larson <chris_larson at mentor.com>

We want any exceptions raised by the TaskStarted event handlers to be caught
rather than unconditionally hitting the exception formatting + traceback in
exec_task, otherwise we can't cleanly exit the task with a nice message from
such a handler.

This is done via a separate try/catch block, to avoid firing TaskFailed if all
the TaskStarted event handlers didn't complete, otherwise the bitbake UIs get
unhappy.
