[Buildbot-devel] Buildslave status mismatch between web/IRC

[Ian Peters-Campbell]

Well, I have a single buildmaster running on a private network, with a
private, dedicated IRC server.  The IRC bots have names of <Project>Bot and
live in #<Project> chat rooms.  Each bot has a category of <Project> and
each builder within the project (generally Integration, QA, and Release)
also has a category of <Project>

When queried with something like ProjectBot: list builders the bot reponds
with something along the lines of:

Project-debug<offline> Project-release<offline> Project-integration<offline>

And if I attempt to force a build it throws an interfaces.NoSlave exception
from within IRCContact.commandFORCE

Meanwhile, on the waterfall page the build slaves are reporting in, map to
builders properly, and are listing the admin/hardware info I would expect.

A possible solution came to me when I woke up this morning that i will
explore when i get into work.  I am wondering if the builder is reporting
offline if I have not manually created its builddir on at least one of its
online buildslaves,   For some reason  Ihave a niggling suspicion this
morning that if I manually create those build directories the builders wil
start recognizing that they have valid slaves and will come online.  Once i
can check that out at work I will report in with my results :)
