Add path to class file to circumvent cross-layer inherit

[jo-so]

I have a class in a base layer that is used by bb files in other layers. Is it somehow possible to tell oelint-adv about this class like calling:

oelint-adv base-layer/classes/mybase.bbclass other-layer/recipe.bb

I've tried, but it didn't work (with v6.0). Have I done something wrong? How can I achieve this?

That breaks with the idea of a self contained layer, hence requiring more knowledge of the overall build.
Requiring to almost setup a full bitbake build.
To me that would be out of scope for the linter.

It would force the need to know about layer inclusion order and stuff like that.

So short answer: by design not possible (yet).

You can ofc ship a copy of the class in question with your layer to be checked, but I think that will contradict the purpose of shared class code
