[Buildbot-devel] problem "want to start build, but we don't have a remote"

[Cavanagh, Sean (Sean)]

What do you see in the twistd.log (client and server) when you hit the
button?

Much good debugging can be done with 'tail -f twistd.log' running on
both client and server.

If you're not getting good information, I had luck with a somewhat
similar problem by parking some extra logging messages into
process/builder.py

Like this:

At line 20:
state_lookup = {0: 'ATTACHING', 
                1: 'IDLE',      
                2: 'PINGING',   
                3: 'BUILDING',  
                }
At line 50:
def isAvailable(self):
    log.msg("%s currently: %s"%
            (self.slave.slavename,state_lookup[self.state])
            )

Good luck!

Subject: [Buildbot-devel] problem "want to start build,but we don't have
a remote"

buildbot 0.7.5, master is a Linux x86 Debian Etch python 2.3, slave is
win XP 64

I'm getting a weird situation where one of the builders accumulates the
build pending but never starts them. We always use the http interface to
force the build to start, and now it just says 'n pending', 'n+1
pending'.

In the logs I see:
"want to start build, but we don't have a remote"

but I can ping the builder just fine ( "sending ping" / "ping finished:
success" )

I restarted the builder and when it came back up it proceeded with the
build just fine. Any suggestion on what went wrong / what I should
investigate next time there's a problem?

TTimo

PS: Thought I'd give you a little update on buildbot usage at id for
your web page. What you have there on us is quite outdated. We now have
3 seperate installations, with 14 builders total. Our build process
slaves include Windows machines, Linux, MacOS X, building for XBox 360
and PS3 consoles.
