Hi. I have created a recipe where I am attempting to install
multiple scripts to bin as part of an install method. As a result I
have a few calls to zc.buildout.easy_install.scripts but am
returning nothing from the install method.
The recipe emits a warning indicating 'A path or iterable os paths
should be returned'. In fact I cannot return a list indicating it
needs a string. Is it necessary to return anything from the install
method?
Yes. You must return an string or an iterable of strings.
Why?
Because that's the API. :)
Returning None is almost always a bug. If you really want to say you
didn't install anything, return ().
If you are installing scripts, then you should return their paths so
they get uninstalled if your part is uninstalled.
