[Buildbot-devel] buildbot and p4

[Carlos Manuel Duclos Vergara]

Hi all,

I'm testing buildbot and I need to use p4 as a source. I don't want to
build every time a new change goes to my repository, I just want periodic
builds. My perforce configuration is as follows:

from buildbot.steps.source import P4

source = P4(p4base='//depot/app/', defaultBranch='main',
p4port='p4-server:866')

f = factory.BuildFactory([source])

c['builders'] = [
{'name':'app_main',
'slavename':'slave01',
'builddir':'app_main',
'factory':f },
]

And every time I try to start buildbot I get this error:

cduclos at tolgalen:~$ sudo buildbot start /var/lib/buildbot/buildmaster/

2007/09/27 08:18 +0200 [-] The new config file is unusable, so I'll ignore
it.
2007/09/27 08:18 +0200 [-] I will keep using the previous config file
instead.

The buildmaster appears to have encountered an error in the master.cfg config
file during startup. It is probably running with an empty configuration right
now. Please inspect and fix master.cfg, then restart the buildmaster.



Can anybody point me to what I'm doing wrong? (btw, I'm not an expert on
python!)
