[Buildbot-devel] Pass information from Trigger step to another

[Olivier Trempe]

I am not sure I understand what you mean.

In "Builder3", I want to get the buildnumber and buildname of triggered
"Builder1" and pass them to "Builder2".

I know that I can use WithProperties (now Interpolate since WithProperties
is deprecated) to pass properties to "Builder2"

What I don't know is how to get these properties from a Trigger step from
within the factory assigned to "Builder3".

Can you provide me with a small example?

Thanks!
