[Buildbot-devel] buildbot slave on windows hangs on mercurial checkout

[Christian Scholz]

Hi!

I am just doing my first steps with buildbot and so far it looks like 
a great tool. I am having a problem under windows though where I am 
trying to do a mercurial checkout from an SSH server.

The account under which buildbot is running has the following setup:

- TortoiseHG installed
- buildbot under Python 2.5 
- ssh key pair generated via puttygen
- public key copied to server into the hg account
- putty is working and I once accpepted the host key
- installed pageant and added the private key to it
- putty is not asking for the password anymore (in fact this key has 
no password right now)

Then I added a step to clone a mercurial repository via ssh://hg@host/
repourl but all it's doing is that the step is hanging forever until 
the timeout kills it after 1200 seconds.

The logfile only shows the initial shell command with the environment 
and when I copy the command line over to the windows machine (a VM) 
and run it manually in a shell it succeeds.

Does anybody know what the problem might be or how I can debug this 
further?


Thanks in advance!

Christian
