[Buildbot-devel] Problems with buildbot 0.7.5 on WinXP

[Terry.Rankine at csiro.au]

Hi 
 
I have seen a similar thing on python 2.3.
 
I have been using build bot as a windows service running under
firestarter (the free version which many virus programs freak out
about), there are a few things that made it possible

indows-xp-service/
http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2005/09/running-python-script-as-window
s.html
 
but i couldnt get them working reliably when other user logged on and
off the box in question.
 
so firestarter seemed to make it work "more often"
 
The twisted version i have (i dowloaded the latest stable instead of the
buildbot blessed one) changed its API and i changed my site-packages to
deal with the new change, and its working ok for now

Hi,

I think I encountered the bug as well and I changed twistw for twistd
without a problem.

	Hi all
	
	I have tried to install Buildbot as a service on Windows XP.
Previously
	I think this worked, but currently it seems to be broken,
perhaps due to
	a new version of Twisted.
	
	I get an error like this:
	
	File
"c:\Python25\lib\site-packages\buildbot\scripts\startup,py", line
	114, in launch
	    from twisted.scripts.twistw import run
	ImportError: No module named twistw
	
	Originally I thought that the problem was the Buildbot didn't
realise
	that 'twistw' has been renamed '_twistw'. But looking at it
further, it
	seems to me that Twisted may have changed its API and no longer
provides 
	a 'run' function; 'run' is now a method of the ApplicationRunner
object,
	and it seems that it now requires something like
	
	W = _twistw.WindowsApplicationRunner(X)
	W.run()
	
	The X is the 'config' argument of the ApplicationRunner in 
	twisted.application.app. I'm not sure what it should contain.
Perhaps
	the 'config' value from my 'buildbotstart.py' script at
	http://ascendwiki.cheme.cmu.edu/BuildBot
<http://ascendwiki.cheme.cmu.edu/BuildBot> 
	
	So as far as I can tell this looks like a bug with Buildbot. Can
anyone
	confirm this?
	
	Cheers
	JP
	
	PS I think it would be rather good if a Windows version of
Buildbot
	could be concocted that dealt with this job of installing the
Buildbot 
	service. It's rather tedious and I imagine might not be so hard
to
	automate. But obviously it would take a bit of work.
