[edk2-devel] Some unpredictable behavior while parsing the FDF file.

Hello! I'm trying to add the following construct to an FDF file:

DEFINE MY_VAR = FALSE
!if $(MY_VAR)
  !include Path/To/Non/Existing/File.inc
!endif


And I get the following error:

GenFds.FdfParser.Warning: The include file does not exist under below directories:

Is this correct FDF parser behavior?

Thanks.

Hello.

It depends on the actual path that you are trying to include. This is the requirements for an include statement (coming directly from the FDF specification):

> 
> 
> 
> The tools look for <Filename> relative to the directory the FDF file
> resides. If the file is not found, and the directory containing this FDF
> file is not the same directory as the directory containing the DSC file,
> the tools must attempt to locate the file relaitive to the directory that
> contains the DSC file.
> 
> 
> 
> If none of these methods find the file, and a directory separator is in <Filename>
> , the tools attempt to find the file in a WORKSPACE (or a directory listed
> in the PACKAGES_PATH) relative path. If the file cannot be found, the
> build system must exit with an appropriate error message.
