[Buildbot-devel] Easy question

[Alex Escott]

... for someone who knows python well (I don't).

I'm sub-classing ShellCommand, and want to pass in a URL for the build step to display in its table cell in the Waterfall. So I modified my c'tor to take in a url named "link":

class CycleProfiler(ShellCommand):

    htmlLink = None    

    def __init__(self, link, **kwargs):
        self.htmlLink = link
        ShellCommand.__init__(self, **kwargs)

Constructing it succeeds, no problems. But when the build step gets triggered, it dies with the following callstack in twistd.log:

2012-01-26 14:53:34-0800 [Broker,0,10.1.100.26] error while creating step, factory=MyClasses.CycleProfiler, ...

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
