[Buildbot-devel] Problem with Using MailNotifier

[Nikunj Badjatya]

Dear Fulvio,
Thanks a lot for the hint.. I checked the twistd.log for any 'Error' . I
found that

{{{
* Unhandled Error*
        Traceback (most recent call last):

            return self.buildMessage(name, build, results)

            msgdict = self.messageFormatter(self.mode, name, build, results,
self.master_status)
          File "/home/buildmaster/SERVER/master.cfg", line 165, in
messageformatter
            text.append("name of builder:"% name)
*        exceptions.TypeError: not all arguments converted during string
formatting*


}}}

I then changed my master.cfg to add "*%s*" at all *text.append()* lines. It
is now working fine and mails are triggered as desired. !! Thanks a ton !
I see log files are very important and should not be ignored.! My bad !


Please reply to Q.2) and Q.3) also.
Q.2)
Is it possible to trigger a mail just before sometime ( say 1 hr ) the build
process starts.?? Please guide as to how it can be accomplished.!

Q.3)
For every build step, buildbot places a link (like  *stdio*,* interrupt*, or
*err.htm*l etc. ). What if I wanted to put myown URL for each build step. ?




Thanks,

Nikunj
