Before trying to append/read a file, check if file exists.

Hang on - opening a nonexistent file with mode 'a' is perfectly fine, it'll just
get created - why do we need this check?

You are right, there is no need.

      data = None

Checking a file exists before opening it isn't good practice. It's much better
to try opening it and if the open fails with IOError of errno.ENOENT then
ignore it (or rather, if e.errno  != errno.ENOENT then re-raise the
> exception).

After applying patch into master

http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2015-October/111704.html

I saw this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/srv/ab/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-worker/nightly-oe-selftest/build/meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/base.py", line 110, in remove_config
    ftools.remove_from_file(self.testinc_path, data)
File "/srv/ab/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-worker/nightly-oe-selftest/build/meta/lib/oeqa/utils/ftools.py", line 21, in remove_from_file
    lines = read_file(path).splitlines()
File "/srv/ab/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-worker/nightly-oe-selftest/build/meta/lib/oeqa/utils/ftools.py", line 16, in read_file
    with open(path) as f:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/srv/ab/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-worker/nightly-oe-selftest/build/build/conf/selftest.inc'


That is why I created the latter check. I will change it to use IOError, safer and cleaner. Sending V2 today.

Thanks for your comments.


Cheers,
Paul
