[bitbake-devel] bitbake task not returning

[Tim Godfrey]

Hello!

A recipe I am working with hangs on the do_unpack task. Looking at the
logs, the sub-task appears to complete successfully, but the calling task
doesn't, and the overall bitbake build process doesn't either.

This is the complete log for the do_unpack task:

DEBUG: Executing python function do_unpack
DEBUG: Executing python function base_do_unpack
NOTE: Unpacking
/home/tim/tisdk/downloads/ti_cgt_c6000_8.2.2_linux_installer_x86.bin to

Setup has finished installing C6000 Code Generation Tools on your computer.

The cooker log includes this line:

NOTE: recipe nativesdk-ti-cgt6x-1_8.2.2-r0: task do_unpack: Started

but there is no corresponding 'Succeeded' line in the log. I'm guessing it
has something to do with the ti_bin_do_unpack task not returning to the
calling do_unpack task.

Is this a known problem? Is there a known solution to it? On a related
point, if I would like to call the python tasks directly in order to
troubleshoot the problem, is there a standard/easy way to do that?

All input warmly received, thanks!
Tim
