bitbake not calling my do_install - yocto

Question

I have a recipe that should be copying a runlevel script into /etc/init.d and creating a symbolic link to it from /etc/rc5 However the do_install function does not appear to be being called.
Below the structure of my layer. The problem bb file is init-wifi.bb at the bottom of the tree. The other recipes with bbappends work fine.

└── init-wifi
├── files
│ └── wifi_start.sh
└── init-wifi.bb
Below is the init-wifi.bb recipe:
SUMMARY = "x"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
#PR = "r0"
SRC_URI += "file://wifi_start.sh"
#INITSCRIPT_NAME = "wifi_start.sh"
#INITSCRIPT_PARAMS = "defaults 90"
do_install() {
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/rcS.d
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/rc1.d
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/rc2.d
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/rc3.d
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/rc4.d
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/rc5.d
install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/wifi_start.sh ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d/
ln -sf ${D}${syscondir}/init.d/wifi_start.sh {D}${sysconfdir}/rc5.d/S90wifi_start.sh
}
If I introduce errors to the bb file outside the do_install function I get errors wen invoking bitbake, so I know my recipe file is being found and parsed. However If i introduce errors inside the do_install function it is not being called. Additionally I don't see the script being installed into the work or image directories (after removing intentional debugging errors).
If I force bitbake to run the recipe with 'bitbake -c install init-wifi', it will install the files "work/image" directories:
tmp/work/cortexa7hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/initwifi/0.0-r0/image/etc/init.d/wifi_start.sh
tmp/work/cortexa7hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/initwifi/0.0-r0/wifi_start.sh
However when my image is built and installed on my module, the script and links are not there.
Been struggling with this for a couple of days and searches haven't produced much help either.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Answer 1

You didn't add your new recipe to your image recipe.
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " init-wifi "
EDIT
I used to do the same and it works well.
Differences I can see is:
SRC_URI += "file://wifi_start.sh"
should be
SRC_URI = "file://wifi_start.sh"
Beacuse you are creating SRC_URI, not adding to an existing one.
I used to add md5 checksum for each file I use.
You should add
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/profile.d"
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/rcS.d"
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/rc1.d"
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/rc2.d"
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/rc3.d"
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/rc4.d"
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/rc5.d"
From the Yocto man
FILES
The list of directories or files that are placed in packages.
To use the FILES variable, provide a package name override that identifies the resulting package. Then, provide a space-separated list of files or paths that identify the files you want included as part of the resulting package. Here is an example:
FILES_${PN} += "${bindir}/mydir1/ ${bindir}/mydir2/myfile"

LPS,
Thanks for the help and suggestions. With them I was able to get it to install the file and create the link.
I made the suggested changes to my init-wifi.bb file:
SUMMARY = "x"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
#PR = "r0"
SRC_URI = "file://wifi_start.sh"
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/init.d"
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/rcS.d"
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/rc1.d"
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/rc2.d"
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/rc3.d"
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/rc4.d"
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/rc5.d"
do_install() {
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/rcS.d
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/rc1.d
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/rc2.d
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/rc3.d
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/rc4.d
install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/rc5.d
install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/wifi_start.sh ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d/
ln -sf ${D}${syscondir}/init.d/wifi_start.sh ${D}${sysconfdir}/rc5.d/S90wifi_start.sh
}
Additionally I had to add the suggested line below to meta-mylayer/conf/layer.conf
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " init-wifi "
I am getting a warning:
WARNING: QA Issue: Symlink /etc/rc5.d/S90wifi_start.sh in init-wifi points to TMPDIR [symlink-to-sysroot]
So I think I'll revisit how I'm doing the links, but I am 'off top dead-center' and moving forward again.
Thanks!
