[Buildbot-devel] WithProperties?

[Christian Unger]

I seem to understand what is going on here,
and thanks much for opening my eyes :-)

ok, I can add a named property and am able to access it through interpolation.
and yes I can make this a convention here and make everyone enter projectName as a property when they are building.
still I'd either like to extract projectName from the branch property or have the default branch use projectName interpolation
like so:

>    source.SVN(mode='clobber', username=private.svnlogin, password=private.svnpass,
>                 baseURL=checkout.projectsBaseURL, defaultBranch=WithProperties("%(projectName)s/trunk"),
>                 locks=[tag_lock.access('exclusive')]),
>     
>     ShellCommand(command=['time', './deploy.command', '--stage', 'dev'],
>                     description="preparing staging tags",
>                     descriptionDone="creating devtag",
>                     haltOnFailure=True, locks=[tag_lock.access('exclusive')]),
>     
>     source.SVN(mode='clobber', username=private.svnlogin, password=private.svnpass,
>                 baseURL=checkout.projectsBaseURL, defaultBranch=WithProperties("%(projectName)s/tags/current"),
>                 locks=[tag_lock.access('exclusive')]),


 
anyone?
