bb-hosts file parsing issue
list Etienne Marganne
Hi all, Now here is a tough problem we encountered. We recently installed a new Hobbit server to get some redundancy. Every thing worked fine since we copied our configuration files and try to make it work with that installation of Hobbit server. The parsing of the bb-hosts file (in our case, this file is renamed bb-hosts-shared for historical reason, believe it does not change anything) does not work. bbgen crashes ... and we do not understand why. We tried all combinations of tab's and spaces ... it only propagates the error to the next line. I think that this issue is more of the scope of Henrik but if anybody has similar problems; his, her proposals are welcome.

You renamed bb-hosts but did you change the BBHOSTS setting in hobbitserver from: BBHOSTS="$BBHOME/etc/bb-hosts" To BBHOSTS="$BBHOME/etc/bb-hosts-shared" ? Jason.

No we still have a bb-hosts file but with a include in it so that there is a link from bb-hosts-shared to bb-hosts: "The" line in bb-hosts: include bb-hosts-shared Etienne Marganne TI Automotive.

Try using the absolute path rather than just bb-hosts-shared. Alternatively you could alter hobbitserver to use bb-hosts-shared instead, up to you.

Well, as a matter of fact, I do not believe this (bb-hosts-shared file) could be the source of the issue. Everything has worked fine until now... Why suddenly such a crash? I honestly think that it comes from the file parser ...

It seems this is caused by a mis-handling of the "nopropred" setting; for this host it's "-snmp". I don't see this in your bb-hosts file, so presumably this is a command-line option or from a .default. host. So could you give me the exact command you use to run bbgen ? Also, if it is possible then I would like to have your bbgen executable, the core file and the bb-hosts file. You can upload them with ftp to www.hswn.dk in the /incoming directory. Regards, Henrik
