fix(cli): report a missing or unknown toolchain instead of a traceback - #190
ebuild build, ebuild configure and ebuild test now print Toolchain error: <reason> and exit 1 when toolchain.target names a toolchain that is unknown or not installed. Before, ToolchainError escaped and the user saw a Python traceback.
Type of Change
feat - New feature
fix - Bug fix
docs - Documentation only
style - Formatting, no code change
refactor - Code restructuring without behavior change
test - Add or fix tests
build - Build system or dependency changes
ci - CI/CD pipeline changes
perf - Performance improvement
Changes
ebuild/cli/commands.py: import ToolchainError, and catch it in build and configure next to the existing ConfigError handler. In test, catch it around _run_native_tests(), which builds the native test targets through _configure_ninja_backend(). Each handler logs Toolchain error: {e} and raises SystemExit(1), like the handlers around it. The message text comes from toolchain.py and is unchanged.
tests/unit/test_toolchain_error_cli.py (new): runs build, configure and test through CliRunner with an empty PATH, for a target that is not installed (arm-none-eabi) and one that does not exist (arm-none-eabii). Each of the 6 cases must exit 1 with no escaping exception, no traceback, and the reason in the output.
CHANGELOG.md: one entry under Unreleased / Fixed.
resolve_toolchain() itself is unchanged; the fail-fast behaviour from #171 stays exactly as it is.
Testing
Unit tests pass (Python pytest)
Integration tests pass
Manual testing performed
New tests added for new functionality
Run on macOS 26 arm64, Python 3.14, at commit 47881a3. Log paths are shortened to <repo>, <venv> and <tmp>. The CLI logs capture stdout and stderr as one stream (2>&1, unbuffered), so lines appear in the order a terminal shows them.
PASS: 1021 passed, 4 skipped. CI also passes --cov flags, and its separate tests/performance/ benchmark step was not run (pytest-cov and pytest-benchmark are not installed here)
Lint (as in CI)
ruff check . (ruff 0.17.4)
PASS: All checks passed!
YAML lint (as in CI)
yamllint . (yamllint 1.38.0)
PASS: exit 0, no errors. 55 warnings, all in workflow files this PR does not touch
SDKROOT is needed only on this Mac, where the default SDK breaks host gcc links. Without it, 5 existing tests that compile a real host binary fail before and after this change.

Summary by Sourcery
Report toolchain resolution failures as user-facing CLI errors instead of uncaught exceptions.
Bug Fixes:
Handle missing or unknown toolchains in the build, configure, and test commands by reporting a concise error and exiting with status 1 instead of emitting a traceback.
Tests:
Add CLI coverage for missing and unknown toolchains across build, configure, and test commands, verifying clean failures without tracebacks.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
build, configure, and native-target test now report unavailable compilers and unknown toolchains with a clear Toolchain error: message.
These errors exit with status 1 instead of displaying a traceback.
resolve_toolchain() raises ToolchainError when toolchain.target names an
unknown toolchain or one whose compiler is not on PATH. build, configure
and test did not catch it, so the user saw a Python traceback. Catch it
and print "Toolchain error: <reason>" with exit code 1, the same way the
other configuration errors are reported.

Layer / File(s)
Summary
CLI handling and regression coverage ebuild/cli/commands.py, tests/unit/test_toolchain_error_cli.py, CHANGELOG.md
The three commands now handle ToolchainError and exit with status 1. Tests check error output and exit behavior for unavailable and unknown toolchains. The changelog records the change.
The change replaces toolchain tracebacks with concise errors while preserving exit status 1. No merge-blocking issue is identified; merge after normal checks pass.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "fix(cli): report a missing or unknown toolchain instead of a traceback" matches the main change. The PR makes build, configure, and test catch ToolchainError, log a "Toolchain error: <reason>" message, and exit with status 1 instead of showing a Python traceback. The title is specific and concise, and it follows the conventional commit style. It needs no changes.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #189 requires that build, configure, and test report an unknown or uninstalled toolchain.target as a one-line [error] Toolchain error: <reason> message with exit code 1, and no traceback. The whole-PR diff (merge base 2b0c165 to head 47881a3) adds these handlers in ebuild/cli/commands.py:
build: except ToolchainError as e: logs Toolchain error: {e} and raises SystemExit(1). The handler sits beside the ConfigError/RecipeError handler.
configure: the same handler, placed beside the ConfigError/RecipeError handler.
test: the call to _run_native_tests(...) is wrapped in a try with the same handler.
The import ToolchainError is added from ebuild.build.toolchain. ToolchainError subclasses Exception directly, so the new handlers are reached. No earlier handler in those blocks catches it first.
The new test file tests/unit/test_toolchain_error_cli.py covers the six cases in the issue: build, configure, and test, each with arm-none-eabi (not on PATH) and arm-none-eabii (unknown). It asserts exit code 1, no escaping exception except SystemExit, no Traceback text, and the Toolchain error: message with the reason.
Residual uncertainty: the issue also names a second _run_native_tests() call site at original line :2904. The diff wraps only the call near :2720 (now about :2726). I could not read the code at :2904 within the inspection limit, so I cannot confirm whether that call site is reachable from ebuild test or from another command. The required build, configure, and test paths named in the reproduction are covered.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All changed files relate to issue #189:
ebuild/cli/commands.py: only the import and the three exception handlers in build, configure, and test. No other behavior changes.
tests/unit/test_toolchain_error_cli.py (new): tests for the reported behavior only. This is supporting test code for the fix.
CHANGELOG.md: one Unreleased / Fixed entry for the same change. This is documentation of the fix.
The PR does not change resolve_toolchain() or ebuild/build/toolchain.py, as the PR description states. The diff shows no unrelated refactoring or other command changes. The diff does not show the CHANGELOG hunk, but the AI-generated summary describes only the Fixed entry for this change.
Full details: Docstring Coverage
Explanation
Docstring coverage is 75.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 2 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)
Resolution
Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Report toolchain resolution errors without CLI tracebacks
🐞 Bug fix🧪 Tests🕐 10-20 Minutes
AI Description
• Report missing or unknown toolchains as CLI errors with exit code 1 instead of tracebacks.
• Cover build, configure, and native test commands with six CLI regression cases.
• Document the fix in the changelog.
Catch ToolchainError at the affected command boundaries. This preserves resolve_toolchain()’s fail-fast behavior and the existing handling of unrelated errors; a broader shared handler would expand the change’s scope without a clear benefit.

Have build, configure, and test report unknown or unavailable toolchains as Toolchain error: <reason> and exit 1 without a traceback.
✅ Met
The commands catch ToolchainError, log the requested message, and exit 1; the new CLI tests cover both an unavailable and an unknown target for all three commands.
