[Buildbot-devel] supporting buildbot for android

[Anantvijay K]

Hi Dustin, all,

Going forward with the previous communications, i've wriiten two classes for
supporting android:
1. Repo - master side
2. RespoSlave - slave side

For now i have written both the classes in the master.cfg, since this is to
verify whether the approach works. It still has lots of code from the Git
classes.

I'm facing some issue when i try to use my source step Repo(........).
The master's log says:
"Traceback (most recent call last):
Failure: buildbot.slave.bot.UnknownCommand"


Implementation details:

*1. Repo - master side*

from buildbot.steps.source import Source
from buildbot.process.buildstep import LoggedRemoteCommand

class Repo(Source):
    name = "repo"

    def __init__(self, repourl, branch="master", revision="HEAD", **kwargs):
        Source.__init__(self, **kwargs)
        self.addFactoryArguments(repourl=repourl, branch=branch, ........)
        -----
        -----

    def computeSourceRevision(self, changes):
        -----
        -----

    def startVC(self, branch, revision, patch):
        -----
        -----
       * cmd = LoggedRemoteCommand("repoInit", self.args)
        self.startCommand(cmd)*

*2. RepoSlave - slave side*

from buildbot.slave.commands import SourceBase
from buildbot.slave.registry import registerSlaveCommand

class RepoSlave(SourceBase):
    name = "repo operation"
    """ everything else is kept as it is in git class, just for testing
purpose"""

*registerSlaveCommand("repoInit", RepoSlave, "1")*

**

How do i debug it???
Thanks,
Anantvijay
