Mender-connect.service not found

[Rani13958]

I’m trying to build mender-connect version 2.3.0 on a Toradex Apalis iMX8 using the tdx-reference-multimedia-image (Yocto-based), and I’m running into an error during the do_install step:

install: cannot stat ‘/…/mender-connect-2.3.0/support/mender-connect.service’: No such file or directory

It seems like the recipe is expecting a mender-connect.service file inside the support/ directory of the source tree, but it’s not there. The build fails because it can’t install this missing systemd unit file.
Was the mender-connect.service file removed or moved in version 2.3.0?
and each bitbake mender-connect this error occured :
ERROR: mender-connect-2.3.0-r0 do_package: Didn’t find service unit ‘mender-connect.service’, specified in SYSTEMD_SERVICE:mender-connect.

Hi @Rani13958,

Just by looking at the 2.3.x source branches, the file seems to be available: mender-connect/support at 2.3.x · mendersoftware/mender-connect · GitHub

Can you gather a little more information, like which layer revisions are involved? Also, have you tried inspecting the actual source directory?

Greetz,
Josef

hi @TheYoctoJester

to be clear i cloned the meta-mender and the meta-mender-community to my build env and this is the mender configuration in my local.conf :

Enable Mender features

MENDER_FEATURES_ENABLE:append = " mender-uboot mender-image mender-image-sd"
MENDER_FEATURES_DISABLE:append = " mender-grub mender-image-uefi"

Mender Artifact info

MENDER_ARTIFACT_NAME = “scooter-v1.0”

Flash layout

MENDER_STORAGE_TOTAL_SIZE_MB = “4096”
MENDER_BOOT_PART_SIZE_MB = “64”
MENDER_DATA_PART_SIZE_MB = “256”

Mender and Toradex Tezi integration

INHERIT += “mender-toradex”
IMAGE_CLASSES += “image_type_mender_tezi”
IMAGE_FSTYPES:append = " mender_tezi"
IMAGE_FSTYPES:remove = " teziimg"

MENDER_IMAGE_BOOTLOADER_BOOTSECTOR_OFFSET = “0”
DISTRO_FEATURES:append = " systemd"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = “systemd”
DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED = “sysvinit”
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = “”

and i added this part to my bblayers.conf :
${TOPDIR}/../layers/meta-mender/meta-mender-core
${TOPDIR}/../layers/meta-mender/meta-mender-demo
${TOPDIR}/../layers/meta-mender/meta-mender-community/meta-mender-toradex-nxp \

and when i run bitbake tdx-reference-multimedia-image this error occur :
ERROR: mender-connect-2.3.0-r0 do_package: Didn’t find service unit ‘mender-connect.service’, specified in SYSTEMD_SERVICE:mender-connect.
