[Buildbot-devel] Alternate shell on win32

[Rafael Sanz]

Hi Gianlica, Tim at all.

I have all environment run under windows & Linux and its working fine almost
cases (with some ones tricks :( ).

When you execute a step.ShellCommand, command = [ YOUR_COMMAND] its executed
a line cmd /C YOUR_COMMAND and expect an executable or some than you can
launch in that manner.

Windows recognize like executables files following the environment variable
PATHEXT, (in my case):

	PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.py;.pyw

Then my first suggestion is that YOUR_COMMAND will be a .BAT file, this
ensures you are running into a CMD shell.

In my case I use:
	f.addStep(shell.Configure, workdir=f.workdir,
                    command="configure.py",
                    logfiles={'test_log': '/out.log'})

And my "executable" it's a configure.py (not omit the extension py) that run
under all operating systems.

Take care with spaces or non ASCII characters in the path, like Tim advice.

And last if you need, could change the COMSPECT environment to change the
SHELL to launch for a 4NT or a cigwin shell.

I hope it will help you.

Best regards.

No, I'm still struggling to understand why it did not work. It is even
more disappointing becasue some months ago I evaluated buildbot to see
if it fitted our needs, and at the time I was able to run a full build
in a win32 slave :(

The only difference here seems to be python (I'm using 2.4.4). Just a
question: where is the buildslave directory in your filesystem?

Same here :)

strange. The current version (which I'm using) is 2.4.0, though I do
not believe the buildmaster could be my problem

> buildbot 0.7.5

Is this not from the fedora extras repo? Any particular reason for this?
