Rootfs-image: "type" property in type-info empty

General Discussions

Hi, I use mender-artifact in Yocto and notice that the type field in type-info is empty:

{
    "type":"",
...
}

Shouldn’t that be rootfs-image? For other artifacts, e.g. single-file, it is correct. If this behavior is intented, is there any other good way to get the artifact type from the header?

Hi @hesmar,

By “in yocto” you mean that you’re using the canonical workflow as provided by meta-mender? Or a custom invocation of mender-artifact?

Greets,

We use meta-mender as part of the (modified) tegra-demo-distro but I could also reproduce the issue by invoking mender-artifact manually.
