oelint-parser

alternative parser for bitbake recipes

API documentation

Find the full API docs here

Examples

from oelint_parser.cls_stash import Stash

# create an stash object
_stash = Stash()

# add any bitbake like file
_stash.AddFile("/some/file")

# Resolves proper cross file dependencies
_stash.Finalize()

# Use _stash.GetItemsFor() method to filter the stash

Get variables from the files

To get variables from the stash object do

from oelint_parser.cls_item import Variable

# get all variables of the name PV from all files
for x in _stash.GetItemsFor(attribute=Variable.ATTR_VAR, attributeValue="PV"):
    print(x)

this returns the raw object representation

Expand raw variables

from oelint_parser.cls_item import Variable

# get all variables of the name PV from all files
for x in _stash.GetItemsFor(attribute=Variable.ATTR_VAR, attributeValue="PV"):
    # raw unexpanded variable
    print(x.VarValue)
    # raw unexpanded variable without quotes
    print(x.VarValueStripped)
    # expanded variable
    print(expand_term(stash, "/some/file", x.VarValueStripped))
    # single items from a list
    print(x.get_items())
    # expanded single items from a list
    print([_stash.ExpandTerm("/some/file", y) for y in x.get_items()])

Filtering

You can filter by multiple items

from oelint_parser.cls_item import Variable

# get all variables of the name PV or BPV from all files
for x in _stash.GetItemsFor(attribute=Variable.ATTR_VAR, attributeValue=["PV", "BPV"]):
    # variable name
    print(x.VarName)
    # raw unexpanded variable
    print(x.VarValue)
    # raw unexpanded variable without quotes
    print(x.VarValueStripped)

and you can reduce the list after the initial filtering even more

from oelint_parser.cls_item import Variable

# get all variables of the name PV or BPV from all files if the value is '1.0'
for x in _stash.GetItemsFor(attribute=Variable.ATTR_VAR, attributeValue=["PV", "BPV"]).reduce(
                                attribute=Variable.ATTR_VARVAL, attributeValue=["1.0"]):
    # variable name
    print(x.VarName)
    # raw unexpanded variable -> "1.0"
    print(x.VarValue)
    # raw unexpanded variable without quotes -> 1.0
    print(x.VarValueStripped)

but if you need copies from a wider list to smaller lists use

from oelint_parser.cls_item import Variable

_all = _stash.GetItemsFor(attribute=Variable.ATTR_VAR, attributeValue=["PV", "BPV"])
_pv = _stash.Reduce(_all, attribute=Variable.ATTR_VAR, attributeValue="PV")
_bpv = _stash.Reduce(_all, attribute=Variable.ATTR_VAR, attributeValue="BPV")

for x in _pv:
    # variable name
    print(x.VarName)
    # raw unexpanded variable -> "1.0"
    print(x.VarValue)
    # raw unexpanded variable without quotes -> 1.0
    print(x.VarValueStripped)

Expanding a Variable

To get the effective value of a Variable after parsing you can use

from oelint_parser.cls_item import Variable

result_set = _stash.ExpandVar(attribute=Variable.ATTR_VAR, attributeValue=["PV"]):
print(result_set.get('PV'))

Working with constants

For this library a few basic sets of constant information, such as basic package definitions, known machines and functions are needed. Those can be easily modified, in case you have additional information to add/remove/modify.

The actual database is not directly accessible by the user, but a few methods in the oelint_parse.constants.CONSTANT class do exist. Each of the method accepts a dictionary with the same key mapping as listed below (multilevel paths are displayed a JSON pointer)

For additional constants

from oelint_parser.constants import CONSTANTS

CONSTANTS.GetByPath('/-joined path')

will offer access
