[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 3/6] bitbake: data_smart: Add original traceback to ExpansionError

[Robert Yang]

This can make it print clearer errors, for exmaple:

Add Runtime_error to 'def oe_import(d)"

 16 def oe_import(d):
 17     import sys
 18     Runtime_error
[snip]

* Before the patch:
  $ bitbake -p
  ERROR: Unable to parse /buildarea1/lyang1/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/data_smart.py
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/buildarea1/lyang1/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/data_smart.py", line 430, in DataSmart.expandWithRefs(s='${@oe_import(d)}', varname='OE_IMPORTED[:=]'):
                   except Exception as exc:
      >                raise ExpansionError(varname, s, exc) from exc

  bb.data_smart.ExpansionError: Failure expanding variable OE_IMPORTED[:=], expression was ${@oe_import(d)} which triggered exception NameError: name 'Runtime_error' is not defined

  This error message has two problems:
  - "Unable to parse data_smart.py": This isn't the real cause.
  - It pionts to "raise ExpansionError(varname, s, exc) from exc" which isn't clear enough.

* After the patch:
  $ bitbake -p
  ERROR: Unable to parse OE_IMPORTED[:=]
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "OE_IMPORTED[:=]", line 1, in <module>
    File "/buildarea1/lyang1/poky/meta/classes/base.bbclass", line 18, in oe_import(d=<bb.data_smart.DataSmart object at 0x7f9257e7a0b8>):
           import sys
      >    Runtime_error

  bb.data_smart.ExpansionError: Failure expanding variable OE_IMPORTED[:=], expression was ${@oe_import(d)} which triggered exception NameError: name 'Runtime_error' is not defined

This one is more clearer than before.
