Bitbake doesn't fetch git repo and throws no error

I am trying to add the files of a git repository inside my console-image. In this matter, I created a recipe inside a layer named meta-rpi (a layer built by the guy that wrote this article, whose yocto image I reproduce). So inside meta-rpi I created a recipe called recipes-web-server, within it another folder named backend, and finally, inside it, I put my recipe backend_git.bb.

The backend_git.bb file has the following content in it:

DESCRIPTION = "Backend repo"
SECTION = ""
DEPENDS = ""
LICENSE = "MIT"

// here I made sure to copy a commit SHA code from the main branch
#SRCREV = "somecode"

SRC_URI = "git://github.com/myUsername/myRepo.git;branch=main;protocol=http"

inherit npm-install-global

And then in conf/layer.conf of meta-rpi I have this non-modified conf:

# We have a conf and classes directory, append to BBPATH
BBPATH .= ":${LAYERDIR}"

# We have a recipes directory, add to BBFILES
BBFILES += "${LAYERDIR}/recipes*/*/*.bb ${LAYERDIR}/recipes*/*/*.bbappend ${LAYERDIR}/images/*.bb"

BBFILE_COLLECTIONS += "meta-rpi64"
BBFILE_PATTERN_meta-rpi64 := "^${LAYERDIR}/"
BBFILE_PRIORITY_meta-rpi64 = "16"

LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_meta-rpi64 = "dunfell"

So everything seems alright. The build runs fine and I was able to flash the image to an SD Card and test it on my raspberry.

After the OS was ready to use, I got inside cd / and then ran find . -name *backend* and other find . -name of various folders inside my git repository but couldn't find it.

So my question is, what am I doing wrong?

It seems your recipe is not added to the image.

Add this line to your custom image or local.conf:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " backend"

This will force the recipe to be built and shipped.
