[Buildbot-devel] Adding interpolated property in a build step

[Philippe McLean]

here is an example of using properties to save the output of a command
executed on the slave, then later using that value in another buildstep:

# determine absolute path of build directory
    factory.addStep(SetProperty(command=["python", "-c", "import os, sys;
print os.getcwd(); sys.exit(0)"], property='absBuildDir'))


# execute a bat script inside that same directory
        factory.addStep(ShellCommand(description="change source folder",
command=["change_source_folder.bat", WithProperties("%(absBuildDir)s"),
config, "CONFIG", "%s" % dbname], workdir="build\\X\\Scripts",
name="change_source_folder.bat"));
