Hi Jörn -

I note that the prefix you have is exactly 256 characters before it reaches the snippet name which is very suspicious. Where are you seeing that in the log? Can you please send a full log of your build and test run?

Cheers,

Hi Anders,


that helped a bit, but now I seem to run into some recursion problem during the test pahse of the package.
It tries to find a iocsh command file in :


/home/wuestenf/micromamba/envs/conda-build/conda-bld/iocstats_1773318749191/_test_env_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placeho/ep/iocStats.iocsh


which does not exists, becaus it should end with placehold/epics_modules/iocstat/iocStat.iocsh.
Do you have an idea how this path name is constructed?
I am using the following packages in my environment:
