The code looks ok.

However, if I 'bitbake test' the code isn't compiled:

Why doesn't the code get built?

Is this the complete log?
I don't find any tasks(e.g., do_fetch, do_unpack, do_install...) that should be there. This is odd.

Yes, that's the complete log ! I thought it was odd too.

Maybe you can try "bitbake -c cleanall test; bitbake test" to see if any change?

That does work, but it seems as if 'make clean' quite often (though not always) doesn't do enough.
