OC 0.7.0 OCS: Missing key Flavour, context <Tools>!

[elgipsy]

Hi there,

I prepared my OC 0.7.0 folder and plist and when I run ocvalidate tool to check my plist I get the "OCS: Missing key Flavour, context <Tools>!" error but I cannot find info on how to solve this issue.

Does anybody know how to resolve this?

Thanks!

means you need to add in the "Flavour" check the sample.plist from opencore

need to add in the "Flavour"

Here's what I don't get. What is the u in there for anyway ? Isn't the word pronounced flav(or) ? Makes no sense. Just like when jony ive says Alu min ium. when there is only one i in Aluminum.

 

[Robbish]

that's how we spell flavour in the UK

p.s. I do prefer the way Americans pronounce Aluminium it's much smoother to how we learned to pronounce it in the UK

When I studied chemistry, the periodic tables only had a single i in Aluminum. I guess there are alternate versions.

huh still don't get it. I can only find reference to flavour under Misc>Entries and as there is no reference to this in the installation guide for Comet Lake, I left it untouched:

Should I just change Enabled to True or is there something else to do?

from the sample.plist:

<key>Entries</key>
        <array>
            <dict>
                <key>Arguments</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>Auxiliary</key>
                <false/>
                <key>Comment</key>
                <string>Not signed for security reasons</string>
                <key>Enabled</key>
                <false/>
                <key>Flavour</key>
                <string>Auto</string>
                <key>Name</key>
                <string>CustomOS</string>
                <key>Path</key>
                <string>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/NVMe(0x1,11-22-33-44-55-66-77-88)/HD(1,GPT,00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000,0x800,0x64000)/\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI</string>
                <key>TextMode</key>
                <false/>
            </dict>
        </array>

and you will also need to add it to every option you have under tools section:

<key>Tools</key>
        <array>
            <dict>
                <key>Arguments</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>Auxiliary</key>
                <false/>
                <key>Comment</key>
                <string>Not signed for security reasons</string>
                <key>Enabled</key>
                <false/>
                <key>Flavour</key>
                <string>OpenShell:UEFIShell:Shell</string>
                <key>Name</key>
                <string>UEFI Shell</string>
                <key>Path</key>
                <string>OpenShell.efi</string>
                <key>RealPath</key>
                <false/>
                <key>TextMode</key>
                <false/>
            </dict>

as mentioned, check the sample.plist:

@Feartech So the one from the sample plist is there and I added it under tools as it was missing(I only have openshell.efi) but I still get the error.
I've attached my plist, if you could have look it would be great, thanks!

make sure to reset nvram after making any changes to your config.plist

 

[elgipsy]

will do but did I add the Flavour bit correctly to the plist? As I'm still getting the validation error, I am not sure
