[Buildbot-devel] Help with p4 master side step creation

[William Deegan]

Greetings,

I'm working on creating a master side source step for perforce. (p4).

I'm running into an issue where the parameter "p4client" is not getting rendered.

Here's the current code:
https://github.com/bdbaddog/buildbot/blob/p4_master_source_step/master/buildbot/steps/source/p4.py

I'm sure there's something simple I'm not doing, but the following call to P4:
        builder.addStep(buildbot.steps.source.p4.P4(p4port = p4port,
                                                    p4client='buildbot_%(slave)s_%(builder)s',
                                                    p4user = p4user,
                                                    p4base = branchP4Path+'/',
                                                    p4extra_views = p4extra_views,
#                                                    mode = 'incremental',
                                                    mode = 'full',
                                                    timeout = 3600))


Yields the p4client being unrendered, even on the slave side..
Here's the slave log:
2012-04-29 17:04:00-0700 [Broker,client]   argv: ['p4', '-p', 'p4host.company.com:1666', '-u', 'bdbaddog', '-c', 'buildbot_%(slave)s_%(builder)s', 'sync']

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill
