[Buildbot-devel] Accessing workdir from BuildFactory

[Daniel Eggert]

Is there any way to access the "workdir" from a BuildFactory setup?

I've tried

f3.addStep(ShellCommand(command=["/Developer/usr/bin/packagemaker",
                                  "--root", WithProperties("% 
(workdir)s/myRoot"),
[...]


But that fails bitterly (on 0.7.7) with:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Python/2.5/site- 
packages/buildbot/process/buildstep.py", line 677, in startStep
