[edk2-devel] BaseTools KeyError When Building EmulatorPkg

[edk2-devel] BaseTools KeyError When Building EmulatorPkg

[ryderkeys via groups.io]

Hi all,

I am trying to build EDK2 from most recent Github (namely, EmulatorPkg) with the new Stuart build system on Windows 10 22H2 64 bit with VS 2019. I'm getting the following error which directed me to this mailing list. More details on my build process below.

Are these the correct set of instructions to follow? If so, I entered the following commands and received the error above.

git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git
cd edk2
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
stuart_setup -c EmulatorPkg/PlatformCI/PlatformBuild.py TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=VS2019 -a X64
stuart_update -c EmulatorPkg/PlatformCI/PlatformBuild.py TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=VS2019 -a X64
stuart_build -c EmulatorPkg/PlatformCI/PlatformBuild.py TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=VS2019 -a X64

A quick couple of print statements in the python code of basetools reveal that gGlobalDefines is an empty dictionary. Help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need more information.

Thank you,
Ryder

Re: [edk2-devel] BaseTools KeyError When Building EmulatorPkg

[Sean]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5627 bytes --]

We are looking at it.

It seems to be a problem in the edk2-basetools but at this point it 
still isn't obvious.

You can do a 'pip uninstall edk2-basetools' and then I would expect your 
build would work.

I also see that you didn't build edk2 basetools (step 6) documented 
here: edk2/EmulatorPkg/PlatformCI at master · tianocore/edk2 
(github.com) 
<https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/EmulatorPkg/PlatformCI>.  
Without doing that your build will fail as well.


The CI system is building fine so we are still looking into it.

I'll update the thread when we have more info.


Thanks

Sean

@Ryder

We have identified the issue.

A new issue will be created here Issues · tianocore/edk2-basetools 
(github.com) <https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-basetools/issues> to 
track it.

In the meantime there are two easy workarounds (pick one).


1. Create your venv named something like "venv" instead of ".venv".  It 
just must come later in the default directory sort than "Basetools".

or

2. Create your venv outside the edk2 source code tree.  Generally this 
is what I do as I don't like my virtual environment mixed with my source 
code.


As mentioned before don't forget to build the basetools.  From there, my 
experience is everything works.  Thanks for reporting your issue.


Thanks

Sean

Hi Sean,

Thanks for the reply and the swift resolution. Regarding your suggestions:
0. I can confirm that after uninstalling the pip basetools, the error disappears and the build works.
1. It also works if I rename ".venv" to something that starts after B (such as venv)
2. It also works if I place the venv outside the source tree.

Thanks once again for the help,
Ryder
