Custom waf task does neither run nor find sources

In my wscript I run some custom Task (dummy) after the apply_link method, and this works fine.

After this dummy-task has finished I want to collect all of my output files (let it be *.dll, *.exe, *.o, *.a or *.elf) and run another task on these output file, but I get two errors:

Thewscript looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-

top = '.'
out = 'build'

VERSION = '0.0.0'
APPNAME = 'app'

from waflib import Task, TaskGen

def options(opt):
    opt.load('compiler_c')

def configure(conf):
    conf.load('compiler_c')

def build(bld):
    bld.program(target='app', features='dummy', source='main.c')
    bld.path.get_bld().ant_glob('**/*.elf **/*.a **/*.o', quiet=True)
    bld(bld.path.get_bld().ant_glob('**/*.elf **/*.a **/*.o', quiet=True))


class tsk_1(Task.Task):
    run_str = 'echo Hello from dummy and ${SRC} > ${TGT}'
    color = 'GREEN'


@TaskGen.feature('dummy')
@TaskGen.after_method('apply_link')
def add_dummy_task(self):
    # create one more *.o file
    self.dummy_task = self.create_task(
        'tsk_1',
        src=self.link_task.outputs[0],
        tgt=self.link_task.outputs[0].change_ext('hello.o'))

@TaskGen.extension('.elf')
@TaskGen.extension('.a')
@TaskGen.extension('.o')
@TaskGen.after('add_dummy_task')
def process(self, node):
    self.sk = self.create_task('size', node)

class size(Task.Task):
    color = 'PINK'
    def run(self):
        print('Another hello from ${self.inputs[0]}')

Shell output:

$ python waf clean configure build -v

Waf: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/Users/user/Documents/waf-tests/test1/build'
'build' finished successfully (0.356s)

If I re-run the build command waf at least finds the the output files (of course, now they are alredy present ;) ), but not even then it runs my other custom task:

$ python waf build
Waf: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/Users/user/Documents/waf-tests/test1/build'
[/cygdrive/c/Users/user/Documents/waf-tests/test1/build/apphello.o, /cygdrive/c/Users/user/Documents/waf-tests/test1/build/main.c.1.o]
Waf: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/Users/user/Documents/waf-tests/test1/build'
'build' finished successfully (0.040s)

The constraint added by Taskgen.after is only on the order of task generator methods. It does not imply ANY constraint on tasks. You can see that by using the --zone task_gen option.

The only source you described is main.c which does not trigger your process method.

Probably a typo, but your second task generator has no source attribute needed by Taskgen.extension, nor features attribute. Try:

bld(
    source = bld.path.get_bld().ant_glob('**/*.elf **/*.a **/*.o'),
    features = 'dummy',
    quiet = True
)
