[yocto] [PATCH 0/5][eclipse-poky] Refactor handling of SDK check errors

[Zhang, Jessica]

Hi Timo,

Thanks for initiating the cleanup in this area that I agree definitely need some work.  There're couple issues I'm seeing with your patch set that probably need some refinements:

1. After seeing the error message, if I go into the field correct the error, I have to explicit click on "Apply" to make it revalidate, probably we should track the fields change and do automatic re-validation

2. For a scenario that I have 2 toolchains (for different arch, e.g. arm and x86) installed under same directory, which means there're 2 environment setup scripts under the same directory.  In this case, the Target Architecture drop down list will contain 2 entries for the arches.  In this case, I'm getting an error message for missing environment script file which is not true.  By looking at the code, the logic basically checking the elem's target architecture setting, if there's none, report missing environment script.  I think for this case, we do need to check the size of the target arch option list to see whether it's empty or not.

3. For the case of Poky.Env.Script.Nonexist, there's Poky.Env.ScriptNoexist.Advise which is more meaningful to user what to do if running into the error.  But I don't see that Advice is posted and by looking at code, it seems it's not being used as well?

Thanks,
Jessica

From: Timo Mueller <timo.mueller at bmw-carit.de>

Hi,

I tried to display the messages resulting from validating the YoctoUISettings in the message area of the properties/preference pages instead of showing a dialog. This led to some refactoring of the validation functionality and also the messages.

If for example the user entered a SDK toolchain directory that doesn't exist in the global preferences a dialog will show up showing the error and telling him how he can do "IDE-wide settings". As he is currently trying to do "IDE-wide settings" this advice is not really necessary and the dialog can be really annoying.

I split up the messages into a one line error message and an advice. This message can be shown in the page's message area instead of opening a dialog with every configuration error. The advice can still be used when we want to show a dialog to help the user, e.g. when creating a new project.

On a side note I reactivated the YoctoSDKChecker class and moved all the validation code from the utils, getting rid of some duplicated and inconsistent code.

Best regards,
Timo

PS: This patch set is based on "plugins/sdk.ide: Remove profile edit buttons from property page"
