Hello forum.
I have a question regarding the expansion of variables in a recipe. Suppose
I have a recipe with this "do_install" task defined:
do_install() {
BBB = ${WORKDIR}
}
Variable BBB expands to the proper working directory.
$ bitbake -e <myrecipe> | grep BBB
BBB = /path/to/working/directory
However, suppose now I have a recipe with this "do_package_prepend" task
defined:
do_package_prepend() {
AAA = ${WORKDIR}
}
Variable AAA doesn't expand to the expected working directory. In fact, it
generates an error:
$ bitbake -e <myrecipe> | grep AAA
AAA = ${WORKDIR}
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
It seems the expansion of variables is not working inside the
do_package_prepend task.
What is going wrong with that?
Thank you in advance! :-)

do_package is a python function, so you prepend code must also be
python. You can do:
AAA = d.getVar('WORKDIR')

Im sorry for asking an obvious question, but documentation is not very
clear. I wrongly assumed that each recipe was executed by the same
interpreter, and seems I was wrong. Then each task is executed by a
different interpreter. This has sense... Thank you very much for the
clarification and for your time! :-)
