Master build is broken at parsing stage about fsl-community-bsp-base

[pberginkonsult]

I have tried to narrow this down a bit and my wild guess is that this has something with setup-environment script to do. My build host is Ubuntu 20.10 (that I know is not a validated build host).

Here is an experiment where I create one build dir with setup-environment this ends up in the error described above and works the second time. Then I create a new build dir with oe-init-build-env and then copy local.conf and bblayers.conf from the first build dir.

$ EULA=1 MACHINE=imx6qdlsabresd DISTRO=poky source setup-environment build
$ bitbake core-image-base
<ERROR>
$ cd ..
$ . ./sources/poky/oe-init-build-env build2
$ cp ../build/conf/bblayers.conf conf/
$ cp ../build/conf/local.conf conf/
$ bitbake core-image-base
<OK> 

I ahev also tested with and without prepopulated sstate and with different machines without any changes. The only thing I've seen working is the different setup scripts.

We saw this as well and narrowed it down to this: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=8b792d4f75b451f9e08fdb13464a0b66c11bc075. We tried master-next just an hour ago and it appears fixed on that branch.

For full disclosure I'm also running Ubuntu 20.04. I originally reported seeing this in https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/meta-freescale/message/24623

I can confirm it is fixed in master-next by this commit https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=83c161ca98a53fb5bc6e0726ae139607f89a3823

We can close this once it hits master :)
