I'm using Yocto Jethro and trying to include one bitbake recipe from another. I'm also trying to see what is the minimum amount of things I need to put in a recipe so that bitbake does not error.
$ bitbake --version
BitBake Build Tool Core version 1.28.0
The first file...
# parent.bb
require child
...includes the second file...
# child.bb
Both files are in the same directory under meta/recipes-core/images/*.bb
When I try to bitbake, I get the following error:
Summary: There were 2 ERROR messages shown, returning a non-zero exit code.
>1< alain@mbp-vmw-ub1 Wed Jan 04 06:11 PM /media/alain/Yocto/var-mx6ul-mx7-yocto-jethro/build-fb > bitbake parent

ERROR: ParseError in child: not a BitBake file | ETA: 00:00:03

What is strange is that I get the same error about the missing LICENSE whether I bitbake parent or bitbake child but in both cases, the error references (child) and never (parent)

Then, I added a LICENSE to both files:
# parent.bb
LICENSE="CLOSED"
require child
and
# child.bb
LICENSE="CLOSED"
So, now I only get the ParseError, but again whether I bitbake parent or bitbake child :

ERROR: ParseError in child: not a BitBake file | ETA: 00:00:04

So, my questions are:
- Do all recipes get parsed whether they are included or not?
- How to include (i.e. require) a recipe from another?
