[Buildbot-devel] single builder run with multiple trigger requests

[Boris Savelev]

> What I do:
> I create builder project1_source that generate tarball from git.
> I create blocker step for project1_linux_x86 that depends on git step
> of project1_source builder.
> I write buildsMatch for blocker step, that check all builds of builder
> project1_source and compare 'uniqnumber' from project1_linux_x86
> build.
> All is fine, but I don't know how to run builder project1_source if no
> any match builds of project1_source found.
>
> The question is:
> I have builder object and property dict. How I can force builder with
> properties from blocker step.

class looks like this (some copy-paste from original class)

This part need some more code-)
            elif self.idlePolicy == "run":
                self._log(msg + ": start build for break the block")

Code that start builder 'builderName` with props
'{'uniquebuildnumber':
myBuildStatus.getProperties()['uniquebuildnumber']}`
