#2070: Step subclasses are confusing
------------------------+-------------------
Reporter:  dustin       |      Owner:
    Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
Priority:  major        |  Milestone:  0.8.5
 Version:  0.8.4p2      |   Keywords:  docs
------------------------+-------------------
 In particular, passing specific arguments to parent classes doesn't work:

 {{{
           File "/opt/buildbot/mingw-w64/master/scripts/buildsteps.py",
 line 86, in __init__
             SetProperty.__init__(self, doStepIf=self.condprop_check,
 **kwargs)
         exceptions.TypeError: __init__() got multiple values for keyword
 argument 'doStepIf'
 }}}

 because doStepIf ends up in the factory args, and thus in kwargs, and then
 becomes a duplicate parameter.  Either the correct method for this
 particular form should be documented, or the whole thing should be fixed.
