[Buildbot-devel] ShellCommand

[Mark Roddy]

I noticed you didn't supply a working directory to the shell command
step.  Can you either confirm that the 'tests' exists in the root
directory of the build or try explicitly specifying the directory that
'tests' is in?  Also note that the following gotcha that you may be
falling into, the following is invalid:
shell.ShellCommand(command=["cd","proj1"])
shell.ShellCommand(command=["cd","tests"])
shell.ShellCommand(command=["make","test"])

If 'tests' is a sub directory of 'proj1'.  The current working
directory is not preserved across steps.  Instead use:
shell.ShellCommand(command=["make","test"], workdir="proj1/tests")
