[Buildbot-devel] Spare checkout leads to deleting build directory and another checkout

[Derek Graham (ML)]

I'm doing a sparse check-out using the following bit of code:

svn_min_steps = [source.SVN(svnurl = svn_trunk,
                            mode = "update", depth = "immediates"),
                 source.SVN(svnurl = "%s/a" % svn_trunk,
                            mode = "update", depth = "files", workdir =
"build/a"),
                 source.SVN(svnurl = "%s/b/c" % svn_trunk,
                            mode = "update", depth = "infinity", workdir =
"build/b/c")
                 ]
...
factory.addSteps(svn_min_steps)
... etc

But what I get is that for every build the second and third steps removes
the path specifed by 'workdir' then do the whole check-out again rather
than update :(

I've tried using baseURL and set defaultBranch to an empty string as I seen
that in another post, but that didn't work either.

Removing the first source step didn't help either.

What is the proper method to perform an sparse update?

Many thanks,
