[Buildbot-devel] Buildbot try error

[Ben Hearsum]

I'm having trouble trying to get 'buildbot try' to work. I've searched
through the mailing lists and haven't found anybody else having this
problem.

I run 'buildbot try -c pb --username=ben --passwd=********* --m
aster=linux9:5900 --vc=cvs --builder="Seneca Test Linux"' inside of the
root of my source tree.

I get this traceback:
using 'pb' connect method
Traceback (most recent call last):

 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/posixpath.py", line 60, in join
   if b.startswith('/'):
exceptions.AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

I imagine that this has something to do with --trydir but no matter what
I use I have the same error.

Here is an excerpt from my master.cfg:
u = [("ben", "********"), ("mike", "************")]

t = Try_Userpass("userpass try", ["Seneca Test Linux", "Seneca Test
Windows"],
                 port=5900, userpass=u)
c['schedulers'].append(t)

Any help would be much appreciated.
