yocto d.getVar fails

Learning Yocto from http://book.yoctoprojectbook.com/index. Chapter 4 has the following code 

SUMMARY = "Recipe to build the 'nano' editor"

PN = "nano"
PV = "2.2.6"

SITE = "http://www.nano-editor.org/dist"
PV_MAJOR = "${@bb.data.getVar('PV', d, 1).split('.')[0]}"
PV_MINOR = "${@bb.data.getVar('PV', d, 1).split('.')[1]}"

SRC_URI = "${SITE}/v${PV_MAJOR}.${PV_MINOR}/${PN}-${PV}.tar.gz"
SRC_URI[md5sum] = "03233ae480689a008eb98feb1b599807"
SRC_URI[sha256sum] = \
"be68e133b5e81df41873d32c517b3e5950770c00fc5f4dd23810cd635abce67a"

python do_fetch() {
    bb.plain("Downloading source tarball from ${SRC_URI} ...")
    src_uri = (d.getVar('SRC_URI', True) or "").split()
    if 0 == len(src_uri):
        bb.fatal('Empty URI')
    try:
        fetcher = bb.fetch2.Fetch(src_uri, d)
        fetcher.download()
    except bb.fetch2.BBFetchException:
        bb.fatal('Could not fetch source tarball.')
    bb.plain("Download successful.")
}

addtask fetch before do_build

python do_unpack() {
    bb.plain("Unpacking source tarball ...")
    os.system("tar x -C ${WORKDIR} -f ${DL_DIR}/${P}.tar.gz")
    bb.plain("Unpacked source tarball.")
}

addtask unpack before do_build after do_fetch

python do_configure() {
    bb.plain("Configuring source package ...")
    os.system("cd ${WORKDIR}/${P} && ./configure")
    bb.plain("Configured source package.")
}

addtask configure before do_build after do_unpack

python do_compile() {
    bb.plain("Compiling package ...")
    os.system("cd ${WORKDIR}/${P} && make")
    bb.plain("Compiled package.")
}

addtask compile before do_build after do_configure

do_clean[nostamp] = "1"
do_clean() {
    rm -rf ${WORKDIR}/${P}
    rm -f ${TMPDIR}/stamps/*
}

addtask clean

The recipe is located in meta-hello/recipes-editor/nano. Basically it is trying to build a nano text editor package. It is failing at the do_fetch() task. After some print statement debugging I figured out that the failure happens at this line: src_uri = (d.getVar('SRC_URI', True) or "").split(), specifically at d.getVar('SRC_URI', True). I'm not really sure what exactly is causing the problem. Would anyone care to help? I'm running a rocko build of yocto.

Here is the terminal output I get when I run the recipe:

$bitbake nano

I'm not sure what you're testing but if I try this example it fails during parsing with:

ERROR: ExpansionError during parsing /media/build/poky/meta/recipes-core/base-files/test_1.0.bb
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/media/build/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/data_smart.py", line 412, in DataSmart.expandWithRefs(s='${SITE}/v${PV_MAJOR}.${PV_MINOR}/${PN}-${PV}.tar.gz', varname='SRC_URI'): try: > s = expand_var_regexp.sub(varparse.var_sub, s) try: File "/media/build/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/data_smart.py", line 111, in VariableParse.var_sub(match=<_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(9, 20), match='${PV_MAJOR}'>): else: > var = self.d.getVarFlag(key, "_content") self.references.add(key) File "/media/build/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/data_smart.py", line 794, in DataSmart.getVarFlag(var='PV_MAJOR', flag='_content', expand=True, noweakdefault=False, parsing=False): cachename = var + "[" + flag + "]" > value = self.expand(value, cachename) File "/media/build/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/data_smart.py", line 436, in DataSmart.expand(s="${@bb.data.getVar('PV', d, 1).split('.')[0]}", varname='PV_MAJOR'): def expand(self, s, varname = None): > return self.expandWithRefs(s, varname).value File "/media/build/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/data_smart.py", line 426, in DataSmart.expandWithRefs(s="${@bb.data.getVar('PV', d, 1).split('.')[0]}", varname='PV_MAJOR'): except Exception as exc: > raise ExpansionError(varname, s, exc) from exc bb.data_smart.ExpansionError: Failure expanding variable PV_MAJOR, expression was ${@bb.data.getVar('PV', d, 1).split('.')[0]} which triggered exception AttributeError: module 'bb.data' has no attribute 'getVar'

which is because the bb.data.getVar('PV', d, 1) needs to be d.getVar('PV', True). This recipe as stated cannot parse under rocko so I don't think you're running the recipe you think you are?
