BBMASK does not work

BBMASK does not work

Hello, Yocto.
I am quite puzzled with this and spent a few hours today so far.
In case you have any comment or suggestion, it would be a great help.

I am trying to hide one of the xxxx.bbappend files from the tree, so that BB won't complain "ERROR: No recipes available for:" error.

I did add several forms of the lines for this in BBMASK variable, but somehow BB seems to find it and complain "ERROR: no recipes available for:".

e.g.

Fido based build tree.
Want to hide AAAA_1.2.3.bbappend since there is no AAAA_1.2.3.bb recipe in my tree.

BBMASK = ".*/AAAA_%.bbappend"
BBMASK = ".*/AAAA_1.2.3.bbappend"
...

I tried BBMASK_forcevariable, and "-e" option to make sure they are set in BBMASK.

I further tried to set ".*" to BBMASK (so that the error message will be changed and I can see BBMASK is working), but the error message is still the same.  It says there is no recipes for AAAA_1.2.3.bbappend.

(But, if I manually rename AAAA_1.2.3.bbappend to, say, AAAA_1.2.3.bbappendx, error message is gone.)

Well, what I can do to debug and diagnose why this is happening.
I believed BBMASK worked as expected, and I think the other build tree I have does not have this problem.

Deleting state cache does not seem to change anything..

Well, I tried adding debug lines to poky/bitbake/lib/bb/cooker.py, and I think what is happening is:

i) BSP has BBMASK = xxxx line.
ii) I add BBMASK_forcevariable = yyyy line to my local.conf
iii) If I check with -e option, I can see BBMASK variable is finally set to "yyyy"
iv) However, when cooker.py is run, matching bbmask file list with recipe paths, the original "xxxx" line is used for matching.

I feel, the recipe files matching is being done before BBMASK is finally set to "yyyy".  Instead, they are matches against "xxxx" it is the initial BBMASK value set by BSP.

This is fido, and jethro may be behave differently (since on jethro based build this seemed to work)?

OK, I figured this out that I can add my BBMASK lines to my conf/distro/xxx.conf fille.

So that I can append to what BSP defines and it seems to happen before collect_bbbfiles() function.

Sorry for my confusion.

An alternative to masking out each .bbappend might be to set:

BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY = "true"
