[Buildbot-devel] Buildtbot Factory steps

[Tony Walker]

Hi,

I wonder if you could help me with a little problem. In my factory (in 
factory.py) I have several steps, as shown below, but I want to know how 
I pass the 'returned' result from one step, and pass it into the next 
step. For example, I would like to create a buildId unique to each 
slave, which I can then pass into the compile step (as our code can take 
a build id parameter)

The current steps look like this:

        self.steps.append(s(step.getBuildId))
        self.steps.append(s(step.Compile, command=qmake_a, env=env))
        self.steps.append(s(step.Compile, command=nmake_a, env=env))

What I would sort of like is:

        buildId = self.steps.append(s(step.getBuildId)) # i.e the 
returned result from this step
        self.steps.append(s(step.Compile, command=qmake_a, buildId, 
env=env)) # and pass it into this step.
        self.steps.append(s(step.Compile, command=nmake_a, env=env))

Can you suggest anything?

Best Regards,

Tony.
