Bitbake does not include my recipe in build

I am trying to do something straightforward: add a new layer and a new recipe. I used the

bitbake-layers create-layer

command to create the layer, and added the layer directory path to BBLAYERS variable in BUILDDIR/conf/bblayers.conf.

layer.conf

BBPATH .= ":${LAYERDIR}"
BBFILES += "${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bb \
        ${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bbappend"
BBFILE_COLLECTIONS += "myname-mytest"
BBFILE_PATTERN_myname-mytest = "^${LAYERDIR}/"
BBFILE_PRIORITY_myname-mytest = "6"
LAYERVERSION_myname-mytest = "1"
LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_myname-mytest = "sumo"

Added this in local.conf:

local.conf

IMAGE_INSTALL_APPEND = " mytest-app"

bitbake-layers show-recipes

shows my layer and recipe.

mytest-app: meta-myname-mytest 1.0

Errors in my recipe are caught in the bitbake build, but without any error, no output is produced under WORKDIR/image or logs are produced under WORKDIR/temp!

Have done this on other platforms, and can't for the life of me tell what I am doing wrong. Thanks for any help!!

Strangely, inducing any syntax errors in layer.conf and in the recipes outside of any do_* functions is caught, but syntax errors in the do_* functions do not stop bitbake. Is this expected behavior? – Karthick
