[Buildbot-devel] buildslave on windows / "All buildslaves appear to be offline, so it's not possible to force this build to execute at this time"

[Alexander O'Donovan-Jones]

Check the slave logs. I run a slave on a mac, and it sometimes runs into issues where it's attempting to use a directory that doesn't exist. Instead of making the directory it just bombs out.

Hi all,


I've set up the following environment:
- buildmaster running on Linux
- buildslave 1 running on Windows
- buildslave 2 running on Linux
- python 2.6.4, twisted 9.0.0, pywin32-214.win32-py2.6 (same on 
buildslave and on buildmaster)
-- in total I've 3 dedicated workstations

The problem:
- buildserver starts and works
- buildslave on Linux works normally
- for windows buildslave following happens:
--- buildmaster shows (page: http://buildmaster:9000/buildslaves) that 
windows buildslave is connected "Slave is currently connected"
--- waterfall page (http://buildmaster:9000/waterfall) shows that 
windows buildslave is offline
--- http://buildmaster:9000/builders/buildbot-full-windows shows that 
all buildslaves are offline. I then try pinging the builder but nothing 
happens

So it seems that communication does not work both ways. Buildslave is 
able to ping buildmaster but vice versa does not work.
I've attempted also the following:
-- placing buildmaster and buildslave on localhost; same problem
-- using different versions of python etc...

I'm quite convinced that firewall or network is not the issue. 
twistd.log doesn't show anything useful.

Any ideas how I should continue ?  Next step I see is debugging...

Regards,
Gregor
