[Buildbot-devel] shellcommand cd problem

[Don Fike]

I'm trying to do a simple cd in a ShellCommand like;

f.addStep(ShellCommand, command=["cd","src"], description=["cd"])

I checkout fine but need to cd to the src directory to run configure and 
make. I can do a shellcommand pwd and ls and see the directory src 
within the build directory but any form of cd fails with an error 
similar to this;

---

cd src
  in dir /buildbot/slaves/bb1/build (timeout 1200 secs)
  watching logfiles {}
  argv: ['cd', 'src']
Upon execvpe cd ['cd', 'src'] in environment id 1082807404:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Using BB 0.7.5 with two different Linux slaves with the same results.
Is Python reporting no such cd?
Any suggestions on correcting this issue?


Thanks,
