[Buildbot-devel] Custom functions in master.cfg

[Christoph Spielmann]

Hi,

In my configuration i defined the following function to create a string 
in the form "0_Sunday",..., "6_Saturday":

from datetime import date
import locale

def createUploadTargetDirectory():
      locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'de_DE')
      d=date.today()
      return "{0}_{1}".format(((d.weekday()+1)%7),d.strftime("%A"))

I use this function in one of my buildsteps like this:

factory.addStep(DirectoryUpload(slavesrc="..\\dist\\setup",masterdest="/bla/{0}".format(createUploadTargetDirectory())))

if i type the function into the python-commandline it works as expected 
but buildbot somehow seems to always get the date from the master when 
it was restarted the last time (i assume thats when the master.cfg is 
actually loaded...)

In my twisted.log i have the following entries:

2012-07-20 15:40:57+0200 [-] DirectoryUpload started, from slave 
'..\\dist\\setup' to master '/bla/5_Friday'

My question is now: Is possible to achieve what i'm trying to do using 
the method i used above, or do i need to implement my own BuildStep?

Thanks in advance,

Christoph
