[Buildbot-devel] Using an output .exe from one builder for another

[Alex Escott]

Hi all,

I've got 3 buildslaves setup on different machines - they are all capable of doing builds, tests, etc.

One of my builders builds an .exe from C++ sources (BuilderA), and another builder runs batch unit tests (BuilderB). Problem is, BuilderB needs the output .exe from the other build step... so I've set it up so that the unit test builder can *ONLY* run on the same slave that runs the compilation .exe. i.e. as a first step, it copies the .exe from ../../BuilderA/build/<path to exe>. Then it runs the .exe from its own build directory. This seems to work (I'm using Triggers) but I think there's a better way of doing this?

Thoughts appreciated - thanks!
