I'm trying to get the list of inherited classes and, eventually, I will use it to determine whether to deploy some files or not.
The below one only returns the ones that were inherited via INHERIT variable.
bitbake-getvar -r my-recipe INHERIT
How can I get the list of classes inherited via inherit directive?
I couldn't get the exact list but I figured out how to check if a certain class was inherited or not using the syntax below.
do_install:append() {
if [ "${@oe.utils.inherits(d, 'systemd')}" = "True" ]; then
# Class inherited
else
# Class not inherited
fi
}
See core/meta/lib/oe/utils.py for the implementation of inherits(..) method
def inherits(d, *classes):
"""Return True if the metadata inherits any of the specified classes"""
return any(bb.data.inherits_class(cls, d) for cls in classes)
There is a BBINCLUDED variable you can look at which will show all the files included by a given recipe and that will include classes.
bitbake-getvar -r my-recipe BBINCLUDED. The output is too long to parse as it includes multiple entries for the same inherited class, .conf and .inc files. Anyway, thanks for the answer. You may want to consider implementing a simpler approach to achieve this in future releases.
