craft_parts.plugins.nil_plugin module

The nil plugin.

Using this, parts can be defined purely by utilizing properties that are automatically included, e.g. stage-packages.

class craft_parts.plugins.nil_plugin.NilPlugin(*, properties, part_info)

Bases: Plugin

A plugin that defines no build commands.

The nil plugin is useful in two contexts:

First, it can be used for parts that identify no source, and can be defined purely by using built-in part properties such as stage-packages.

The second use is for parts that do define a source (which will be fetched), but for which the build step then needs to be explicitly defined using override-build; otherwise, even though the source is fetched, nothing will end up in that part’s install directory. In short, for the case of a part that uses the nil plugin and defines a source, it is up to the developer to then define the override-build step that, in some way, populates the $CRAFT_PART_INSTALL directory.

Parameters:

• properties (PluginProperties) –

• part_info (PartInfo) –

get_build_commands()

Return a list of commands to run during the build step.

Return type:

List[str]

get_build_environment()

Return a dictionary with the environment to use in the build step.

Return type:

Dict[str, str]

get_build_packages()

Return a set of required packages to install in the build environment.

Return type:

Set[str]

get_build_snaps()

Return a set of required snaps to install in the build environment.

Return type:

Set[str]

get_pull_commands()

Return a list commands to retrieve dependencies during the pull step.

Return type:

List[str]
