Graceful continue if some recipe has error

Graceful continue if some recipe has error

Hi,

We have written recipe for our application which reads some environment variables and follow a path. But if these variables are not set then recipe parsing results into error.
So I was looking if we can have some way for a graceful continuation. As we want if those variables are set then it bitbake should continue with rest of building.
So is there way we can achieve the same.

Thanks,
Abhinav

Depends, how are you reading the variables? From python or shell?

Hi,

I am using python function as below
python __anonymous () {
    origenv = d.getVar("BB_ORIGENV", False)
. . .
}

Thanks,
Abhinav

Presumably then you would do:

value = origenv.getVar("BAR", False)
if value:
    # do something if set
else:
    # do something if not set

?
