[Buildbot-devel] No build button + problem with addStep and workdir

[Ian Peters-Campbell]

So I assume you set the build directory for your build to be
build-linux/build?  What happens is that when you do the svn checkout, it
creates another subdirectory under that also called build/

You should be able to get around the problem by either listing the build
directory as build-linux or by setting your workdir to
build-linux/build/build  Also make sure that build-linux/build exists in the
builds directory from the buildmaster's install directory.

Finally, regarding a force build button, there's an optional parameter when
you are instantiating the web server to allow builds to be forced.  When you
instantiate your web status include the parameter allowForce = True.  Keep
in mind that even once that is active you will still have to manually enter
the branch you want to build on.  A solution that worked better for me was
to set up some of the IRC bots for my various builders and allow builds to
be forced through them.

I hope that helps, if I am misunderstanding your question let me know and I
would be happy to try and help :)

Ian
