'sfdk tools list' hangs

Applications
#1

Hi,

I thought I’d give sfdk a go, to see if I can automate some things. I’m looking at https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Tutorial_-Building_packages-_advanced_techniques, and I’m stuck at sfdk tools list. It doesn’t seem to be doing anything, just sits there giving no output. Also, when I use sfdk --debug tools list, no output. When I hit ctrl-c, something seems to be happening:

gmc@coltrane:~/src/sailfish/tasks/tasks$ ~/bin/SailfishOS/bin/sfdk --debug tools list

The build vm seems to be up and running though:

I can succesfuly set a target with sfdk config target=.... though, and build also works.

What could be wrong?

Cheers,

sfdk tools list invokes the SDK Maintenance Tool to check some properties of the installed tools, and the maintenance tool implicitly refreshes its repositories, which is known to hang when executed without network connection available (fix scheduled for next SDK release).

When you start the SDK Maintenance Tool manually and let it check for updates, does it block or no?

Please also try with export QT_LOGGING_RULES=sfdk.*.debug=true, which will enable additional logs during early startup.

#3

When I run SDKMaintenanceTool by hand, there is no problem it seems:

In fact, yesterday, some updates started to pop-up, which I installed and now sfdk tools list is working correctly. So I guess it was a bug in the previous version of either the build vm or the sfdk tool or something in between, that is fixed in the new update.

#4

It is quite possible then, that it hangs when updates are available, in which case the output from the maintenance tool may differ from the expected one. So the bug may reappear every time a new SDK version is released.

#5

I forgot to add that both bugs are likely to be fixed in the next SDK release (3.4).

The “‘sfdk tools list’ hangs” bug is now fixed in SDK 3.4.
