[Buildbot-devel] Incorporating environment settings into a factory

[Richard Offer]

Thanks for the idea Ben, I'm still unclear how buildbot is architected.

Does it build its commands to be executed once when it parses the file or when the steps are executed ?

I need to get the input form the source tree, so I could possibly build the python object up from the SVN checkout and then pass it across to the subsequent steps - but I'd assumed that that wouldn't work.


Richard.

There's a ticket open about this:
http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/100

Currently, the best way to do this is to define your environment
settings in a variable and pass them to each BuildStep.

eg:
myenv = {'foo': 'bar', 'blah': 'blah'}

myfactory = factory.BuildFactory()
myfactory.addStep(ShellCommand, ...,
                   env=myenv)
myfactory.addStep(ShellCommand, ...,
                   env=myenv)

Cheers.
